Women In Combat During WWII, the initial acceptance of woman in the military was controversial because they were deciding whether just needed more people, whether they should be an official part of the services, and whether they could perform the jobs. Most people were concerned that women would obstruct the view of American culture because they would be considered “masculine”. By 1944, women proved to be effective in helping during the war. Some were even trained to shoot guns next to the men
The subject of women in combat has long been a taboo discussion. Generally females are viewed on as the weaker sex, and handled as if they are fragile. The thought of women on the battlefield brings up a staunch opposition. It is argued that women do not have what it takes emotionally and physically to withstand the demanding aspects of war. However, I firmly believe women should have the right to be able to serve equally alongside their military counterparts if they so chose. In addition to extensive

Having women in combat has been a controversial topic for many decades. For years, women have been serving in the military, but in 1994, an official ban was placed on women being in combat. On January 24, 2013 secretary of defense Leon Panetta removed the ban. Although women are considered physically weaker than men because most of them have lower stamina and strength, they are still eligible for combat.

Women in active combat are a very controversial topic with valid points at both sides, but fundamentally, there are just some facts that can’t be ignored. Men and women are not created equal.

There is a rising political issue in the United States which revolves around the idea of women in combat. In my own opinion, the cons of adding women into combat roles outways the few pros.
