Ever since man has come to earth, women have not always been equal to men. But as time has gone on women have become more independent and stronger. As of the 21st century, women have achieved true equality in most aspects of life, including the U.S military. But there has still been a gap of equal opportunities between men and women. Our United States Military was first founded on June 14, 1775, during the American Revolutionary War. Women were “cut out of the picture” when it came to war. Men would go off to fight in the wars and women were left to continue with their tasks at home, holding their breaths and praying their family members would return home in one piece. Or that is what most did. Many women were nurses on the battlefield helping wounded soldiers and bringing in supplies. But during the last two years of WWI (1917-1918), women were allowed to join the military, they just could not influence in combat activities. Some activities they could participate in were being mechanics, ambulance drivers, pilots, administrators, nurses, and other things that were helpful, but not combat dangerous.

Women and men are different. This is a fact, and anyone who says otherwise is wrong. The idea of equality has twisted this very basic truth. The United States military is trying to remain in social graces, and this has brought upon a decision to make female service members dress and act more like male service members.
