"Female soldiers at almost taken for granted in today’s Army. Few, if any, would argue that women have no place in the Army, and their presence rarely raises an eyebrow. Yet, there remain a few bastions of male hegemony, one of which is the infantry. The authors in this section examine the wisdom and the practicality of assigning women to infantry squads, platoons, companies, and battalions. Nicholas Coppola, Kevin G. LaFrance, and Henry J. Carretta suggest an analytic methodology with which to examine the effect female soldiers might have on combat teams, particularly combat infantry units. J . Michael Brower argues strenuously that the time is ripe for meaningful roles for women in modern warfighting. Adam Wojack dispels the notion that women are too weak to serve as infantrymen or that women will undermine a unit’s cohesion or effectiveness."

That sounds terrible. I thought women had a stand in today’s army since there are so many of us. I think women do as much as the men are in the army. No one should have the right to be saying a woman has no place in the army. Those women serving in the army is to be proud of themselves, going to a terrible fearful place and fighting for their country. It’s a disgrace how these men would still have time to say these comments about these women; instead they should be working together as one to fight for our country. They should just work together and just stop it with these stupid unacceptable comments.
