Many people think that only men serve in combat roles for the military but a lot of other people believe that women should also have that opportunity. Many arguments state that women aren’t in good enough physical health for combat like men are. However, many women go through many training states and become in shape very easily. The procedures are meant for men so if women try to compete with them then the women injury rate will increase.
Another arugment about women being in combat is the efficiency of the women, some women will be able to meet the standards and some will not. Combat is very possible for those of the women who qualify but with the small amount that don’t qualify because of additional logistical, regulatory and disciplinary costs associated with combat isn’t worthwhile according to most people. Another main problem with letting women serve in combat roles is they're at higher risk for rape and abuse, this also happens to men but we all know it is more seen towards women than men.
A positive for letting women serve in combat roles is for career advancement. Women have to face the same responsibilities in the army like men do in the injury category. A lot of people see it as sexism if women aren't allowed the same equal jobs/opportunities that men are allowed to do. Another positive is cultural differences and demographics. Having people with a wider personnel base allows militaries to have the best and most diplomatic soldiers working to end conflict quickly.
Do you think women should be able to be in combat? Why or why not?

Good job overall Roberta! Great topic choice! I do think you should have educated people about women in combat throughour US History a bit as it is now allowed.
I think woman should be able to be in combat if they want to. They should follow the rules the guys do and not be treated as if they are not able to do anything that men do. I feel no matter what gender you are if you want to challenge yourself and you meet those standards then you should be able to be in combat.
I think that women should be able to be in the military. I think it is important to train women to a point where they are prepared for whatever they will do. From what you said, it seems like women would need to be trained at their own intensity. I agree that letting women be in combat has a lot of downsides. I think that if a women is willing to put themself in that position, then they should be able to.
I think that anyone should be allowed to join any branch of the military. But they need to follow the same rules as every other person there. They are the ones who signed the papers saying they were willing to put their lives on the line, People should be able to do all of the physical and mental training no matter what gender they are.
I think they should be able to combat. Women go through the same training as men and I understand that some women do not have the same physical health as men but you could test this really easy. If a woman passes for example a physical test, she sould be allowed to combat.
I think woman should be abel to do all jobs or should have the same career possibility then men have as well.
I think you as a person if woman or man should decide by themselves if you are abel to do that job or not. I think there shouldnt be any differences between man and woman.
I agree with you because if a job is available for men then it should be the same for women to most circumstances. It should be fair for both genders and it shouldn't be discriminated by your gender.
Yes, I think women should be able to participate in combat because if they are trained to the same standard as men and are similar in skill level. Then, I don't see a reason for why they shouldn't be able too. Although, if these women who want to participate in combat don't meet the physical standards for the job then I don't think they should be able to take part in it.
I think women should be allowed to be in combat and have the same responsibilities as men do in combat. Especially if that is what they want to do then no one should be able to stop them or tell them they can't. But they should have to meet similar requirments as the men in combat do.
I agree with you because women are just as capable as men. A women can have different views and points then men also so that would make it better for the combat because there would be a variety of different views.
