While spending six years in Arabia, Janis decided to improve the military and change some things around. She decided to include more military women in the Army and make a strong female force. The women, who had always been interested in war, got so excited when they found out that they could actually be in the military.
At the time, that idea would have been considered as ludicrous. Janis said that, “They exalted the women of Kuwait, who had replaced killed or captured men in the underground, passing information to the Americans, hiding fugitives, and assisting the liberation forces any way they could. If the Kuwaitis needed help, these elegant Emirati women vowed to answer the call. And they were ready to defend their own homeland, as a kind of civil defense force.” (129)
These women were extremely brave, but the drive inside of them is was gives them the courage to want to be soldiers. Like Janis said, “These women were hungry for the mission and were committed to making it a success.” (131) It took a very long time for Janis to get the proper military help and commitment from other to help her succeed in her plan. Finally, she got this serious group of women, and trained them all night and all day. They were more than ready to go to war in Janis’ eyes, and she was so proud of them.
These select women changed history in Arabia, ever since then, women have been strategically thinking about the life they want to live, instead of getting married right away and having children. Because of Janis, these women are now beginning to develop a mind of their own, which is really amazing. Janis Karpinski said, “when we asked what happened in 1991, nobody had trouble remembering the answer. “We changed the military!” they would shout.” (133)

Every women should be able to think for themselves.They all should have a career and be strong deep in their heart. Those type of women are the smart ones. They don't depend on a man to take care of their finances and they can do whatever they want. After being married and have children it's diffcult for women to get back on track with college, so they should always have a nice career to make the money to give their children what they need, even if their husband decides to cheap one day. All women should be able to take care of themselves, if one day their husband was to leave. I believe some of the most strongest women are the divorced, yet still very successful ones. The ones that can still take care of their families and have a great career and still look beautiful.
