Women in the Military? (written by a male student)

I am for women joining the military. It is an equal opportunity for both men and women. Even though women aren't allowed to serve in infantry, artillery, special operations, armor, combat engineering or reconnaissance positions, there are still women on the front lines.
Women have equal opportunity for advancement because there is no restriction due to age or gender. It's based on how hard you train, your education and your job performance. There are many women who have achieved high rank. A woman was nominated for 4 star general in the Army in 2008.
There are currently over 200,000 women in active duty and more than 140,000 serving in the reserves. It's an amazing opportunity because you can travel, you get paid for your service and during hard economic times, its a stable source of income. It's almost recession proof because the United States will always need active members.
