Should women be allowed in the army?


Yes, they should:-

  • All modern and advanced societies have granted equal rights to both men and women. Women have displayed their capability in all spheres of life. Therefore, it would be in the fitness of things to allow them in the army well so that they may defend the nation along with their male counterparts.

  • Gone are the days of yore when women were regarded as the weaker sex. In our modern age and lifestyle they are not inferior to men physically and even acquit themselves better than men in facing the stress and strain of life. Hence, they should take their well deserved place shoulder to shoulder with men.

  • Unlike previous wars, modern wars involve more brain than brawn. Therefore, mere masculine strength, the preserve of men folk, does not sacrifice. Modern women with their equal intellectual capacity to conduct the modern war must be conducted into the army.

  • History is replete with example which proves that when it comes to fighting and showing courage, women are as good as men.

  • Therefore, women in modern times with expansion in their knowledge provided by opportunities in diverse fields should not be kept away from the honorable job of serving in the army.

  • Sex is immaterial in such wars. Therefore, women with intelligence and knowledge can equally achieve the desired results as men.

No, they shouldn't:- :-

  • A woman is a homemaker. Her proper place is at home and in the kitchen where she devotes her energy to keep men folk happy. If allowed in the defence services, she will only ruin a home life but will also destroy the psychological support base of her men in the army.

  • Women are called the weaker-sex while warfare requires the sterner qualities of courage, stamina and invulnerability of any sort. Therefore, the involvement of women in actual warfare would only lower the fighting capacity of men folk which cannot be allowed at any cost.

  • By temperament, women are fit to take up only light office jobs to meet in increasing family requirements. The job in the Army is hard and arduous which does not suit their soft physique and easy going nature.

  • Women on the front may corrupt the men in uniform. Instead of fighting, they may get involved in sexual and aesthetic enjoyments.

  • Frailty they name is woman says Shakespeare. This fact holds true even today. Women with their physical weakness and lack of morale can never face the booming guns and bomb shells. Hence, it would be an utter folly to enroll them in the Army. Instead, they may be assigned sundry jobs in support of the regular soldiers.

  • Induction of women into the Army is sure to soften the soldier in man. Forgetting the rough and tough life of the Army they will render the Army ineffective in facing the serious challenge from the foreign enemies and now, even terrorists.
