After watching this viedo, I became absolutely furious knowing that women are not allowed to be out on the lines in Iraq. If women are over there that are willing to fight for their country and help put an end to this war, then they should have every right to be down on the lines with proper training. Women have been put into mechanic work only and then a day later they are put out in war, in the middle of a battle with no idea of what to do and what is going on. Women are out in battle probably right now, with no idea how to use a gun or how to help out others if they need it. It is pretty sad that still to this day, society still has a problem with women serving their country. They are just trying to do what they feel is right and still they are put to shame!
The New York Times- Op-Ed: Women in Combat

This all goes back to when the only place for a woman in the workplace was at home taking care of the children and cleaning and cooking. Up until the 1920's, women were not seen as equal to men. Even now that we have more rights then back then, still some men still see woman as less equal and should only be doing certian jobs.
