There are growing feelings in the United States that, as women are having more rights, women should be given everything that is offered to men. This is becoming very true in the military, where women are requesting for the ability to be in combat arms positions, the frontline. Many believe that it is time to open these positions to women soldiers and allow them to serve in the front lines of combat. Although women are currently allowed to serve in combat support positions in the military, women should not be able to serve in the frontline, because: women do not have physical capabilities to serve in these positions, would have trouble dealing with the emotional trauma involved in war, and could cause a decline in the morale of their unit.
Some people that oppose my opinion think that it is a chauvinistic, sexist, and a politically incorrect statement. These people think that limiting women to support positions is insulting to women, and that it is damaging to the relationships between men and women in the military. In addition, many believe that women should be given an equal chance to prove themselves alongside men. Overall, many feel that it hurts the idea of equality to not allow women to serve in any position that they chose to in the military, and that women should be given the opportunity to prove themselves able to do the job. .
Women should not be allowed to serve in the frontline because many of them are not physically able to perform well in this capacity. It is a known fact that, as a group, men are stronger than women are. Combat arms positions requires great physical strength and endurance to perform a variations of physical tasks, including marching while carrying weapons and heavy gear, hours of physical training, and lifting "dead" comrades during training exercises. Of course a combat arms soldier's duties are endless, and most of them require much strength and endurance.
