Women should be allowed to be in direct combat situations. There are combat exclusion laws that don't allow women to perform jobs that have a high probability of engaging in direct combat. This army policy was derived from four criteria. The criteria include: the duties of the job, the unit's mission, tactical doctrine, and location on the battlefield. Jobs that have the largest probability of going into direct combat are referred to P1. P7 jobs have the lowest probability of going into direct combat Women should be able to be Army Rangers, and Navy Seals, and snipers, and risk their live for their country just like our brave men do. Women can be trained to endure as much or even more then men in the battlefield. I hope that we as citizens of the United States can be the catalyst that starts this change.
