Women in the Army In the history of the army, women have played a major role. Not only through the support of soldiers, but standing next to male soldiers to fight. More than nine thousand women served in Vietnam and in addition to serving in hospitals caring for wounded soldiers (Wilson, 1996). In September 2005 there was 203,000 of women serving on active duty in U.S. armed forces (U.S. Department of Commerce, 2007, ¶ 24). While some do not believe women must be at the front, that women in the armed forces has contributed to a robust and integrated Vietnam and other wars When attacked Pearl Harbor, the army is not enough male soldiers in certain professions who do not have to meet in order to direct action. These jobs are professional military specialties (MOS) supports. Many of these jobs were clerical, nursing, public service and laundry workers. The government has decided to leave permanently, the jobs of women and men, let them fight in the war. Much has been in the civilian sector, but some were sent abroad, and some women have to die in World War II and Vietnam. Vietnam has been a remarkable breakthrough for women in all forces. Women have served in the Navy, Air Force, Army and Navy. Over time the military left Vietnam, 7500 women had tours overseas (Holm, 1982, ch conducted. 16). During Operation Just Cause in Panama in 1989, several hundred women have served enforcement missions and refueling missions of supply while being shot at by the enemy (Wilson, 1996, ¶ 6). These missions have not yet seen combat missions. Women served in many during the war in the Persian Gulf in 1990-1991. About 40,000 (Ghajar, ND, ¶ 8) Women who have served in the battle between Kuwait and Iraq. These women had set a milestone in the history of women and the registration numbers. Today, women who were abroad against the war against terrorism have contributed to the success of women in the military. War against terrorism has brought together men and women. The struggles are not fighting against each other, but on sex as one strong force. Even if the military does not consider what to do to fight against women in Iraq and Afghanistan, many women are in danger at any time. Women in these wars have made extraordinary achievements and made many successful missions. Achievements The army has given well-deserved credit to the men and women. The women who helped them during the Revolutionary War, were the first to receive a pension. These women are not yet a military force, were for the “development and water” (Wilson, 1996, recognized women in the first military and history) for soldiers on the battlefield . These women have been accredited, regardless of the size of the rent, and now the soldiers enjoy the same benefits and pensions, veteran of male soldiers. But few have received as many awards as their male colleagues. The only woman on the highest distinction of the nation, the medal of honor get is a surgeon in the Civil War, Dr. Mary Walker. It was the coin, and Congress Finally, he removed his reasons for not yet known exactly. After his death, President Carter “return their medals” (Wilson, 1996). There are many women, the Purple Heart, the first and oldest military award was received. The Purple Heart is awarded to military personnel who were injured or killed during the fight, the winner directly with Enemy Engaged. The Purple Heart is an honorary award and is held in high esteem. The price of honor, but honor to receive, must obtain the rank, deserves respect. Recently, the first woman awarded the rank of four-star general. This is the highest rank in the army orders. Army Gen. Ann Dunwoody has been promoted in November 2008 that the prospects of women officers (CNN, 2008) has been moved. Women have served all areas and parts of the army. The army noncommissioned officers (NCO) are considered the backbone of the army. ” This non-commissioned officers to train and continue to fight for their soldiers, they went through their struggles. There are only a few exceptional women documented NCOs, but many who served. They are available for sub-officers, including the military, they fight alongside their soldiers, and go forward. Women have participated in the long tradition of NCO. Women officers have not shown they can do what is right and lead the force. Although there are more people recognition awards and so on, were the wives of these soldiers the same work. The physical fitness standards and training may be different, but together, these soldiers who have completed the mission. Feminizing the military Many people say that women have no place in the military front, or because the obvious physical difference. Can a woman have the same weight as a man on his back? Can a woman run as far as the man who ran beside her? The military has to help the various physical standards, a fair assessment of female recruits. Some female soldiers are capable of carrying soldiers and male, some may even be able to carry heavy loads over long distances than men. These standards are in place to help women overcome the physical differences. The training of soldiers, but not the same standards. Training in a mixed environment can be a bit stricter and more difficult language on sexual harassment. Women are trained in the same areas of people and get an accurate assessment. These training sessions infuse sexual harassment and difficult policy of equal opportunities. Always down with these guidelines, there is a list of equipment and batteries, that women are not allowed, for the web (“Women in the military, ND, ¶ 7). These units are thought to those who would send a woman in direct combat. A device that does not go in direct support of combat troops, if these elements are supported: Criminal Intelligence Bureau, medical, military police, civil affairs, engineers and signals. Women can serve in all units and support go to war with combat units. The support elements will result in emissions that women will be at the front. And even if the military does not recognize women in combat in a support MOS is to be a soldier in the line of danger and fight together with the soldiers fighting. Views on Women in the Army The readiness of soldiers is a long debate. Many people believe that as a woman’s emotional needs that fall outside the battlefield. Some say that women are a distraction to the men on the battlefield and women can not exercise the same care as men. Today, there are many women in units that provide support for dangerous missions every day. The Army prohibits women in the line units (infantry) (Norris, 2007, ¶ 4), but women are part of a special unit to deal with. War against terrorism a new threat, female suicide bombers. The Muslim faith, it was difficult for male soldiers, Muslim women could hide the true information on research and critique of weapons. The military, a group of women to implement a general rule, the composition of a military police unit, the missions with combat units, so look for women. The lion turned out to be a very important role to play in the ground war (Solaro, 2006, ch. 3). help these women, which demonstrates the Muslim faith and are very important in the fight against terrorism. This work brings these women to the front, and many women in these units are in combat with the enemy. These women know only too well the effects of war and have experienced first hand. The army does not recognize that they are women on the front, they are there. Our history has shown that, regardless of race, religion or sex, even in this country can succeed. A woman can run a company as well as man. An African American woman can do the same activity. And a Muslim, African-American woman can run the business well. Women and men of races and religions in the fight against all wars, which proves the unity of the country. In this way, our enemies know that the United States of America did not achieve equality and our shortcomings. The military can not see women on the front because of politics, but women know better overseas. They fought alongside male soldiers in direct combat, and they are just as important to the success of the war. Virginia Woolf is a British author said: “As a woman, I have no country. As a woman my country is my world. “ References Industry and Commerce. (2007). U. S. Census Bureau News Release Available from the Census Bureau: http://www.
