I am writing a paper for one of my classes on the military and am looking for some stereotypes other then women's restrictions in the military that I can use.

That the Air Force is a plush and cush job.\n\nThat the Navy is made up of overweight lazy people.\n\nThat the crews of all submarines are homosexuals, or partake in homosexual behaviors while underwater.\n\nThat your Average Marine is just an idiot that does anything that he's told, even if it leads him to his death.\n\nAll women in the Army are lesbians.\n\nThat all officers lack common sense and the ability to lead.

obviously the government can grant the military exceptions. There are other forms of discrimination in the military as well. For example, women aren't allowed in certain combat arms jobs, which can be considered sex discrimination. \n\nThe military has it's own set of rules that fall outside of the sphere of normal civil law. No where else can you get thrown in jail for things like infidelity, which is possible in the military under the UCMJ, or for speaking out against the commander in chief if your an officer. There is the fact that you can't sue the government while your serving in the armed forces. The list goes on, but you get the idea, the military doesn't play by the same rules that everyone else does.

In the Army women cannot serve in the following: infantry, armor, cannon field artillery and short range air defense artillery.\n\nIn the Navy women are excluded from Submarine Warfare, Special Warfare (SEAL) and ratings particular to submarine service such as fire control technician, missile technician, and one aspect of sonar technician. Women can be sonar technicians...they just cannot serve in the submarine component of the rating. \n\nThe Marine Corps assignments closed to women are infantry, armor, field artillery, security force guard protecting nuclear material, and several positions related to armored, amphibious, assault units and fleet antiterrorism security teams.\n\nAir Force positions closed or restricted are Combat Control, Special Operations Forces, Rotary Aircraft, TAC Pararescue, and Weather assignments with infantry or Special Forces.\n\nAll Coast Guard occupations and assignments are open to women.

Don't know why but women are arguing to get into higher positions in the military.  Up until 10 years ago, women only did the stuff like nursing ... then those dorky hippies who take off their bra's decided to encourage their daughters to wanna fight.  \n\nStill the argument is men don't want women in military because they feel women are too weak ... men don't wanna worry about seeing a woman bleeding <they can barly see us cry let alone see us all blown up>.  Men can't stand to see us raped ... and men can't stand to cry in front of us <which does happen in war>\n\nI guess moderen day stuff like video games <Tomb Raider> and action movies <GI Jane> make it glamerious for woman to try and be the "tough guy", but reality is we're wimmps ... Sure I take my kick boxing classes ... and I always win while wrestling ... but if in anger you flick me in the nose, I'll be in a corner crying my eyes out ... so sad but true.\n\nHowever, if a draft did occur and it did includ women, and I was drafted ... I would go ... I'm not a yellow-tail coward hippie!!!  The enemy would just have to deal with me crying while I shot at them.

Probably the same person who gives you the right to stereotype. Besides, the government sticks their noses where they don't belong. In case you haven't noticed, I'm not conducting the troops in Iraq. I'm too young for the army anyway, but that's beside the point. I've left the US and, though I don't know what that factor's all about, I say hate the government, not the people.

Women have become an integral part of the armed forces, but they are excluded from most combat jobs. Several issues remain. One is whether to reduce, maintain, or expand the number of women in the services as the total forces are being reduced. Difficulties in obtaining enough qualified males led to increasing recruitment of women during the 1970s and 1980s, and women now comprise more than 12% of the armed forces. The percentages vary among the services from less than 5% for the Marines to 16% for the Air Force. A planned reduction of armed forces, in response to a changing world situation and budget pressures, and the availability of enough qualified males, could change the perception of need for military women. \nA second question is to what extent women should continue to be excluded from some combat positions by policy. Women are not assigned to certain jobs including many that form the core of defense in actual battle, such as the infantry. All legal barriers have been removed. In 1991, Congress repealed the law prohibiting women serving on combat aircraft in the Air Force and Navy. In 1993, Congress repealed the law barring women from Navy combat ships. Policy on assignment of women to combat was left to the Air Force and Navy, as it already was to the Army, which excludes women from combat jobs. Congress in P.L. 103-160 also required advance notice of changes in policies to open or close assignment of women to combat units, indicating its intent to monitor policy on this issue. U.S. military actions in Grenada, Libya, the Persian Gulf, and Panama revealed numerous inconsistencies in policy among the different branches and practical problems in having a growing number of persons in the armed forces prohibited from combat posts but representing a substantial part of the forces and serving in combat support units. The deployment of approximately 40,000 women to Saudi Arabia provided the most extensive experience to date. \n\nSome observers contend that additional military jobs could be opened to women. Others contend that adding more women to non-combat posts reduces the number of rotation slots available for men in combat units. In either event, since the main mission of the armed forces is to deter war by being prepared to wage one if it occurs, there is a limit to the extent to which the armed forces can increase the number and expand the assignments of women as long as there are restrictions on assigning women to combat posts. \n\nThe two basic considerations involve national security and the role of women in American society. Would national security be jeopardized or enhanced by increasing reliance on women in the armed forces? Should women have equal opportunities and responsibilities in national defense? Or do role and physical differences between the sexes, the protection of future generations, and other social norms require limiting the assignments of women in the armed forces? Opinion in the United States is deeply divided on the fundamental issues involved. \n\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nMOST RECENT DEVELOPMENTS\n\nOn June 26, 1996, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled (7-1) that the Virginia Military Institute (VMI) can no longer exclude women and remain a publicly funded institution. Both VMI and the Citadel have begun to comply. Officials at VMI have reported that VMI would not adjust its physical standards to accommodate coeds. VMI has begun to recruit women. \nReports of sexual harassment, including assault and rape, at a number of Army facilities, have brought about increased scrutiny of military policies concerning the treatment of women. \n\n\n\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nBACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS\n\nTwo major factors led to the expansion of the role of women in the armed forces. First, after the end of the draft and the beginning of the All-Volunteer Force in December 1973, the military services

You can thank the intergration of females into army ranks for the reduction of readiness amongst recruits.\nHave you noticed, the Marine Corps refused to allow women to tarnish its training regimen.  Women in the Corps, are trained seperately, and that's the way it will stay.  So Pelosi, Boxer, and Clinton can whine all they want, this one they will not change.

try www.military.com or contact your local recruiters office.  But really, do you want a pen pal, or are you a uniform chaser?  As a military wife, i'm wary of girls who just want to write to a soldier to "bring them comfort".

Military service is required of everyone but certain party members in North Korea.  It is in this way the indoctrinate the people to their oppressive system.  Many women will stay for the reason many men do; life in the military is so much better than as a civilian.

I'm not sure why, I don't. I was in Iraq and currently in Afghanistan. The women serving th, there and here are fantastic. Very good at their jobs. I've seen some great female MP gunners, Medics and helicopter pilots. They just are in the rear with the gear anymore guys. Bash all you want but they Kick A$$ over here. And some are really cute too and could still probably kick most of the arm chair soldiers butts in here. HAHA

Nuh uh. Chicks totally dig men in uniform. But the man has to be very demonstrative and decisive an take the initiative. That uniform that makes the girls swoon, also makes her very submissive. Don't know what it is. I'm a pretty dominant female, but a marine uniform makes me into a kitten.\n\nUniforms not sexy: McDonald's, Burger King, Home Depot, Best Buy, or Gas Station.

Yes.\nShould any and all women be allowed?  No.\nFor example, women pilots tend to have slightly faster reflexes.  I have no problems with women flying into a war zone and then flying out.  The same could be said for tank crews and naval craft.\nInfantry?  This is a different matter.  If the woman can drag a wounded buddy out of fire, then why not.  But then again I think that the standards for both men and women in combat should be higher.  I say if a male cannot drag a wounded buddy, he should not be there either.
