Sisters In Arms

In the article " Sisters In Arms" by James Dao, they are mainly talking about how the u.s military are deciding weather they should let women in combat,  and if they are as strong as men to fight in combat?

If they let women fight in combat it would be a good thing, i think. I think that it would be a good thing because women don't get that but respect as it is, because they are women and people think that women are not physically and mentally strong as males.

"When the military goes to full integration, it allows commanders to put the best person in the job, not just the best man," Jacob says. When Jacob made think statement he was basically trying to say that just because your a male, it doesn't really mean that you might be the best at fighting in combat. Maybe some women can be better than a man. They should be looking for the best, to get the job done than the gender.

In the article it stated that, a female photographer that was in Afghanistan, ( Sergeant Pearsall) had to do some similar things, as the soldiers. She had to carry heavy armor, camera equipment, and if the enemies was shooting at her, she had to shot back without hesitation.

" I didn't sit around think: 'I'm a women; I don't think i can carry this gun," Sergeant Pearsall stated.

If women are strong enough to give birth, than i feel as though they are strong enough to fight for their country as much as men.
