Women in Combat MOS's

Abstract

The ethical question that I will present is not that if women are fully qualified to fight in combat, but rather if women need to be in Combat Arms MOS's. A question that was presented on a totally different subject but has a similar basis is "because they can, or because they should." Many women have fought and died for this country and so without a doubt they are fully qualified to do the job. The US Military needs this gender in the service but do we need them to be placed (constantly) in harms way?
