Focus On What is Best for Combat Effectiveness
Abstract
The combat exclusion policy created in 1994 to protect women must continue to be enforced. Demanding equal opportunity in war situations is preposterous when women are hindered by physical issues, psychological concerns, and moral aspects. Military effectiveness in combat would be touched by a wide range of women's issues from strength to pregnancy. In addition, both genders would face challenges with the combat body-to-body contact training, which could lead to sexual harassment or assault situations. Overall, equality at the expensive of mankind's valuable child-bearers is not in the best interest of American society and should not be compromised for women to participate in combat.
