In the article "Sisters in arms" by James Dao, he brings to light that women are about to be able to go in to combat along side the men. Also now the leaders can pick the best person for the job out of everyone, not just the men. This will lead to more success in missions because the best man or woman will always be on the job

In this article quotes are used by people of the army. Something that surprised me in this article is the fact that women weren't allowed to combat in war in the first place. This is shocking and surprising because they applied to help their country not just be support, so they should be able to do whatever is needed to help their country.

I think this is a great thing for our country and the way it's run. Now that this is happening, women are getting the respect they deserve, which means the country has come a long way. Before women couldn't even vote some 100 years ago, now they are highly respected. I think our country is becoming equal and everyone will be treated the same now.

This article has made me think about a lot of things in our country. One thing is since women are now allowed to participate in combat, are women around the country going to get more respect. Another thing is that women may start to be  more confident, but will people accept this new change ?
