warriors of gentler sex

Story in NYT women in arms 8-16-2009 Steven Lee Myers.

Women are fighting on the front lines of our war .They are getting killed and defending their partners as equal .

This is the first time for American men and women soldiers, who are away from home for long periods of time,to live and work in close proximity in war zone. With the culture of sexual freedom and adult autonomy the problems are arising which are more unique for military and not for society.

These are strong women who can hold on their own .Without moral judgement can decide responsible sex if they choose. As only women can become pregnant military has evacuated pregnant women from war zones . Numbers for evacuated women has been very small. These are the signs that military is adjusting to having women as part of its readiness mix.Women by standing strong and adjusting to female particularities to rugged war condition have proven that they are more than match for any enemy or competitor alike.
They have used wide mouthed bottles to pee on the road and have proven that difference in physical equipment(biolgy)can not be allowed to be hindrance in performance of their duty.It is time that every body took these soldiers seriously and for good reason.
