research paper NOTES!!!!

ability vs gender

As long as an applicant is qualified for a position, one’s gender is arbitrary. It is easy to recruit and deploy women who are in better shape than many men sent into combat. It is possible to calibrate recruitment and training standards to women. Extra pre-training for muscle building can also be used to reduce female injury rates. In modern high technology battlefield technical expertise and decision-making skills are increasingly more valuable than simple brute strength.

if a woman is fit enough to pass the boot camp then she should be able to be sent off. sometimes women are more fit than men.

Women could be serving near the front-line with the U.S. Army Rangers and Navy SEALS in the next three years under a bold plan to equalize combat and special operations jobs. 

The plan, expected to be announced today, calls for women and men to meet the same physical and mental standards to qualify for certain infantry, armor, commando and other front-line positions across the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marines. 

This could involve a review and change of existing standards.

Women currently make up about 14 percent of the 1.4 million active U.S. military personnel.

The Navy plans to have studies finished by July 2014 on allowing women to serve as SEALs, and has set October 2015 as the date when women could begin Navy boot camp with the expressed intention of becoming SEALs eventually.

U.S. Special Operations Command is coordinating the matter of what commando jobs could be opened to women, what exceptions might be requested and when the transition would take place.

However the proposals leave the door open for continued exclusion of women from some jobs if research and testing find that women could not be successful in sufficient numbers. 

But the services would have to defend such decisions to top Pentagon leaders.

Army officials plan to complete gender-neutral standards for the Ranger course by July 2015. 

Army Rangers are one of the service's special operations units, but many soldiers who go through Ranger training and wear the coveted tab on their shoulders never actually serve in the 75th Ranger Regiment. To be considered a true Ranger, soldiers must serve in the regiment.

Topic: Should Women Be Allowed to Fight on the Front Lines Alongside Men?

Issue: Women fighting in war with men 

Pros: 

1) Ability vs Gender

2) Modern warfare and public support

3)Military Readiness.

4)Tradition

5)Cultural Differences & Demographics

Cons: 

1) Abuse by Enemy. 

2)Tradition 

3)Physical Ability

4)Career advancement
5)Efficiency

My Stance:
I feel that having women in uniform fighting for our country is a great issue to talk about. Some men do not think that women should be next to them firing a weapon and others do. Some men have this feeling that they are so much better than most women but honestly to me if a woman wants to get out there and shoot up some terrorist then let her do it! No woman should feel like she isnt good enough to fight for the country. It takes a strong woman to suit up and go through what she had to go through just to be able to call herself a soldier and no man nor the government should take that away from all the women that put their lives on the line for people they dont even know.
