To be honest, I've never blogged before. Oh, and I am horrible with grammar and I can't spell anything. :] So I'm allowed to right about anything for my comp class in college and I decided my first blog would be a question that my boyfriend brought up today. Should women be allowed in the military? I think that if they want to do it they should be allowed. My old boss was ripped, i mean like 5% body fat, she wanted to serve her country and she did, for a long time. Shouldn't it be a personal decision based upon the women signing up? She knows the risk, so isn't it her fault is something happens? BUT! Here is where it gets me and this is why I'm not exactly sure if I should support what i think or not yet. It has been tested and proved that if a women is in a troop of men, other men will sacrifice themselves to save her. It nice, but the that women knew what she was signing up for, should she really be protected? Also, when a women is captured, a lot worse things happen to her then a man. But, my mind keeps going back to the fact that if a women signs up, she knows the risks and she should evaluate then before signing her life away. I would like to know others peoples view points before I set mine in stone. I’m still leaning towards the side that women should be allowed in, but I was wondering if others could tell me additional facts or opinions to why that would be a bad idea.
Thanks!
