   Women should be given the opportunity to fight in all combat roles. The claim that women can't be as physically strong as a man is completely false. In the 1970s, the Canadian military conducted trials that tested women's physical, psychological, and social capacity for combat roles. The results informed the final decision of the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal to remove Canada's female combat exclusion. After similar tests, Denmark also lifted its combat ban in the late 1980s. This further explains that women can be just a physically strong as men. Women shouldn't be deprived of fighting for our country because of a mans view. Many argue that women in these roles would ultimetly become victim of sexual harrasment and therefore it would be their fault for "putting themselves in that postion". Doesn't that sound ridiculous? They should not punish a women for what a "man can't control" like sex, but punish the man. This just further shows that they are just trying to give men the upperhand. My last point is that women HAVE to be on the front line in combat. In Afghanastan, men soldiers are prohibited from touching/searching  women and children to look for weapons and bombs. Only women soldiers are allowed to search them making it madatory for women to be on the front line.
