I found this interesting article about how women are now taking part in the war at Afghanistan. When we think of the war and soldiers, we think of these group of men armed with guns, supplies and a helmet on. Since there are not many women soldiers that we can picture, I was willing to find out what this article is all about. At this point of time, Americans are very sensitive about the war and what the government does to deal with it. Obama gave recently gave a speech at the West Point regarding the soldiers in Afghanistan, and he maybe talking about the women soldiers to prepare to help the American soldiers.
The article specifically talks about group of women soldiers who are currently in training to go fight in Afghanistan. The generals tells the young women soldiers about the things they should be aware of while they are in service at Afghnistan. Bumiller, the writer, mentions that women do take important role in during war such as diffusing bombs. She also talks about how women can take responsibility as a captain and not just wait for their husbands or sons to get back home.
The article is talking about important issue in American history and how women can take part in wars. I think the article is well written, and notifies the world that women these days are different. From reading this article, people can get rid of the hidden stereotypes of women that they cannot take responsibility in wars like this.
