In this article "Sister in Arms" James Dao talks about women joing the military and being half as strong as men. But also being scared when its time to pull the trigger and  kill.

This article includes quotes from woman who are in the war and their opinion on how it is being a woman in the military. Sergeant Persall says "I didn't sit around thinking, I'm a woman; I don't think I can carry this gun; i feel when the bullets were flying the men didn't care that I was a woman, as long as I was pulling the trigger." The article also talks about the physical strength in woman so they can perform certain task. For instace walking miles wearing heavy armor and carrying packs that weigh 100 pounds.

I believe that woman should be able to sereve in the military because they should be able to do the same things men do. Some woman are stronger than men and can do things better than them also. just because the are smaller and feminen doesn't mean you cant kill someone else.

This article reminds me of my cousin. Everyone in my family believes that woman shouldn't join the army or military but she thought different. She went and joined and has been there for 3 years and she says she's stronger and wiser than half of the men there.
