Argumentative Essay: Women's Right To Fight

Women’s rights in combat

Woman have been the basis of the earth from the beginning. We have given birth to children, broke our bones for one life form. We have argued for out woman rights and survived discrimination. Patiently, we have waited for this amendment: "Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or any other State on account of sex."(Social Reform in the Progressive Era, 2015) Woman have sought long and hard to finally be given the right that the seventeenth amendment has given them. The right to equality should be upheld, even in the role of combat. Woman have fought and have been waiting for chance to show what they can to in this modern society, thought their dedication and strength,

advancing out military through their service.
The qualification of a person fighting for our country today is not gender oriented. (Sisters in Arms RSS, 2009) In 1775, during the revolutionary War, woman were judged on how their appearance was and how they took care of the home. This date in history was the first time that woman had the option to go to war, not in combat, but as a nurse and cook. This moment was monumental for the life of a woman, they had the option to do more then be a house wife, and they could go and help in a war. This got old very fast for some woman, some wanted to fight and be a part of the combat, but it was not an option because they weren't a man.
In the modern world, woman have developed into independent people.

Some don't get what they want in life by being a nurse. They want to fight for their country, and be as equal as men. In training woman work just as hard, if not much more, than men. Some people are physically not made for this job, but not only woman. In order for woman to be as equal to a man she just has to work harder in pre training and in everything physically. If a woman is not up for the challenge to be a strong and productive as she possible can, then she will not sign up for the service. A Sargent wouldn't allow someone to be put into combat who wasn't ready. If a woman works and goes through training as she is required to, then comes out of it in the physical shape she is supposed to, then she has earned her rightful spot in combat.

With a woman in combat, it would keep our service larger. (Sisters in Arms RSS, 2009). Men take up 67%, with woman serving 22% of all of the military in the United States of America today. (Sisters in Arms RSS, 2009) Imagine if that percentage of woman got larger. It would push the men to be better than them, equally making our nations military larger. Therefore, if we have more military, we have more defense for this

nation.

Women may not be the strongest of everyone, but they are just as dedicated to the job. When someone is dedicated enough they will go far and beyond to be the best they can be. When anyone, man or woman, tries to be the best, it will motivate the people around them o do their best as well. Woman have not taken their success lightly, by striving to win many wards as Lt. Annie G. Fox in 1941. Who won the Purple Heart  while serving at Hickam Field during the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, Dec 7 1941 (Wilson, Captain Barbara A, 2015). Since woman were giving back breaking labor, they have still been treated like a young delicate flower. It is now, that the world has grown and woman have been given more freedom to speak their mind, that they should be heard. Not only have ladies been being strong since the beginning to time, they have been wanting to show that they are equally as capable as a man.
