Sisters In Arms

   In the article "Sisters In Arms" by James Dao, James quotes "The U.S military is lifting its long-standing ban on women in combat. What does that mean for the nation's armed forces." In the article one day in 2007, during her second deployment  to Iraq, Staff Sgt. Stacy Pearsall's unit came under attack. When they came under attack when Sgt. Pearsall was shooting her machine gun she noticed a fallen solider. She went to towards him and he was 6-foot-2 and more than 200 pounds. He was twice her weight but she still managed to pick him up and take him to safety. When people started to notice that a women can do a mans job just as good as they could everything changed. The Department of Defense announced in January that it will lift the long-standing ban on women in combat. Before women couldn't vote nor could they no half the things they can do now. 

   I think that women have the right to do anything they want, specially when it comes to fighting for our country. If the combat needed more people and it was just women I'm pretty sure they wouldn't turn them down. If women want to vote, become a doctor, be in combat, or Navy SEALs they should. It's important that everyone gets treated equally. I think that the world still needs a lot of work on treating  women equally if men was to be in this situation then they would feel some type of way. Plus men always say "Be the man of the house." But imagine if before men didn't have any jobs neither a right to vote. They wouldn't know what to do, women would practically be running the world (as Beyonce quotes). If the government let women be in the combat or do plenty of things that men do in the future everyone will be able to see that women can do  as much as men could.
