Women in combat is good

I am going to write about the gender inequality in combat. In the past, women do not have chance to join the front line, women even do not have chance to vote. But now a lot thing changed, like women have the chance to vote, women can join in the Olympics, women can join in the frontline. I am going to write about the changing role of women in combat.

In the first, women just can be nurse or photographer in the combat, then they can do some paper work which is far away from the frontline in the combat, after defense secretary says, “all combat roles now open to women” in 2015, women got the real equality in some way, but I find some articles and I think women still do not have the real equality, like in the ranger school, people suggest lower women’s standard for graduate from ranger school. For me, I think this is not the real equality.

There also has some evidence show women can do everything like a man, like two-person graduate from ranger school. “The women have been hailed as pioneers for passing the course in the first year the Army has opened it to women on a trial basis.” (Sanchez) women show us that they can do whatever they want to do. “Unlike the male graduates, the two women can't apply to join the 75th Ranger Regiment, an elite special operations force.” (Sanchez) until the end of 2015, pentagon still cannot make the decision about open all the combat roles women. But women already fight back a lot of rights and women deserve it.

I have two academic sources and two popular sources now, I may have more sources. They all talk about women’s role in combat, or the changing role of women in combat. Like there have two bans for limit women in combat and the bans are abolition in 2015, I am going to explain what the two bans are and why they have abolished.
