Militaries have increasingly opened combat roles to women, but there have been some critics warning this will lower standards and effectiveness. There has been historical evidence suggesting integrating women into combat roles would not impact effectiveness, and perhaps even increase it under certain circumstances. There has been study done that Women are more effective in some circumstances than men. Allowing women to serve in combat roles doubles the talent pool for delicate and sensitive jobs that require interpersonal skills not every soldier has. Women should be able to serve in combat roles if they can pass phsyical test like mens can. There is also talk that women are not as physical as most women are.

 

         There are many different pros and cons. That all women are not physically capable like men are. There has been a study that women suffer higher injury rates. Also another con is that getting pregnant can affect the deployability. Another con is that women say they are capable of all of physically, mentally, morally capable of leading combat operations when they're not. Pro is that it gives women leadership and team building skills.

  • I think that no matter your gender you should be allowed to serve in combat roles. The women in the military are willing to work as hard as the men so why not give them the same benefits. Although men are usually stronger women push themselves to be just as good. Therefore, I think anyone should be able to serve in combat roles. 

  • I think that women should be allowed to serve in combat roles. The women who do enlist in the military are willing to work hard to serve their country. Obviously there are physical limitations, but women often work harder because they have something to prove. I believe that women who enlist in the military often expect to handle any role they are assigned too, including combat roles. 

  • I believe that is should not matter wether or not you are a boy or a girl wanting to serve our country. If a human being is physically capable enough to do handle the requirements it takes to be apart of the military then they should be able to serve if they would like to. It should not matter if you are a women that is not as big as the man you are standing next to, or if you are a man that is not as big as the women standing next to. If you are physically capable there should be no problems

  • I think that women should be able to fight in combat roles, especially if they are fit to do so. If you are capable in  fighting for our country and you want to, gender shouldn't play a part in anything. 

  • I think women should be allowed to service in the military to certain points. Women have fought for most of their rights in the country so they should be able to serve in the military. The military needs all the help it can get sometimes so women joining it wouldn't be a bad idea. 

  • I think women should be aloud too if they can meet all of the requirements the men have to do. Men are genetically stronger than females but if women work hard enough they should be able to meet the physical and mental requirements to fight in the military.

  • I think that women are just as capable to serve in combat. If they meet the standards needed then there should not be a problem. The standards should not involve gender. It should be based on where their skill level stands.

    • I agree with I think women are capable to serve in combat. I also agree with you if they meet the standards need then there should not be any problem to let them into the role. I also agree that they shouldn't involved gender into the whole standard deal.
