FEMALE RANGERS
Abstract
This is a literary Review where I will cover
females and their roles in the Army. Just recently two female
soldiers have passed the very difficult and prestigious Ranger
school. This is the first time in history that any female has been
allowed to try out and actually pass any sort of school of this
caliber. They face the future and if they will be allowed to work in
such units. In this review I will also bring some opinions of an
infantryman. In my opinion if the females can keep up with the
standards then by all means join specialized units but do not
expect the standards to be changed.

let the join the infantry with us. But the standards should not be
lowered in any form for females.
In infantry there is many jobs a soldier has to do
such as clear houses, take prisons, and staying out on the field at
weeks on end is just one of the things they do regularly. If
females were allowed in the infantry would they be doing the
same thing as the males? Or would they have to make certain
exceptions to accommodate females and their monthly cycles
and other needs females might encounter during a deployment. I
asked my Sgt. how would infantrymen react to females by their
side on the battle field? he responded with The infantry is a
brotherhood we go through a lot of rough patches together and
we endure hardships if a female soldier thinks she can come in
and do the stuff we do then there is no reason why one of my
soldiers should look at her differently then they would if it was a
male. On the same token the females need to perform just as a
male would no lowering standards and no special exceptions for
any infantrymen male or female.
Soldiers are now being mobilized to Syria, only
certain units are getting deployed over there. Units such as
Special Forces, Rangers, and seals. This again brings up the topic
