Battle Axes and Saws were were heavy bladed weapons that did the job, right. Axes would disable shields, body parts, and even splitting the skull with one fell swoop….literally. Axes are destructive and have the “ability to chop catapults and fully disable them with one chop.” Byam, Michele. Eyewitness : Arms and Armor. United States of America; Dorling Kindersley, 2000. Battle Axes were axes, but they were double sided making it even more dangerous….and heavy as well. It’s major weakness is…

Ever since the beginning of time, any type of battle or war was perceived as a man’s responsibility. Woman were told that they were too weak to fight in combat. However, in recent years, thousands of women step up to the plate every day to join the military.

could do, meaning equal access to jobs and careers in military as well as outside of it. People state that women aren’t “physically, mentally, and emotionally qualified” to actually be involved in combat.

When deciding whether women should be allowed to participate in direct ground combat, it’s very meaningful to look at how successful are armies that already allow women to serve in military combat.

The integration of female soldiers into combat positions within the United States Army could significantly improve the Army’s effectiveness and the nation’s security. Secretary of Defense Ashton Carter has until January 1, 2016 to deliver the final decision as to which combat positions female soldiers will be authorized or not authorized to serve in. The…

finally recognized the important roles women have in the military by allowing them to play a part in ground combat. The idea of women fighting alongside men is heavily debated.

or not adjusting the physical standards for women. However, after seeing both sides you will understand why women should have different physical standards to enter the military but there must be equal physical standards for women desiring to enter combat jobs. 2.

Bang, snap,pop! That is the sound of combat. Though some may think that women should be allowed to hold combat roles more than you might think are opposed. There are few separate living quarters, they have the potential to degrade a units combat effectiveness, and the decision will leave lots of children motherless.
