Soldiers of Conscience

I think it is a good thing that women are allowed to participate in combat now. Gender equality is an important movement right now and I think that this is major progress taking place. If I were drafted into the military, I’m not absolutely positive what my status as a solider would be. Although it would be difficult to face the thought and morality that the victims of my army’s hands are someone’s child, lover, or parent, I think I would identify as a soldier. Considering the fact that if a war is taking place, our country, its people and their liberty must be at stake. If there were the slightest chance that anyone I cared about would be hurt during or in the aftermath of the war, I would fight in order to protect them. I would hope that the victims would return to God after their valiant fighting for their people.
