I recently saw a news clip addressing the issues of women serving in the military. The two women's stories that were addressed in the news clip related to the issues inequality between the gender roles in society. The service women who come home from serving in Afghanistan and Iraq are at a higher risk than men soldiers at becoming homeless. The reason this happens is because the women's lack of education level and lower wages compared to men.
I was unaware of the alarming number of women becoming homeless after protecting this country and I thought this was disappointing to hear. We as a country have been at war for close to a decade and some people are becoming unpatriotic for this country and for these women to want to service and know that they possible can be killed and they continue to be soldiers. I think more benefits should be given to the soldiers. Not just women soldiers, but men soldiers as well.
