Women only continue to progress and get better. Their role in the military is an example of that. They video above shows the history of women in the military and how they have progressed thus far. In the past, women were involved in wars were nurses. Some women would even disguise their selves as men in order to participate in serving the country. Women that are noted in this video who did this are Deborah Sampson who signed up under the name "Robert Shurtlief" and Sarah Rosetta Wakeman, who posed under the name "Private Lyons Wakeman." These women are considered people who paved the way for women in the military today. In the video you will also find different positions that women hold today and how their are more opportunities given to them in this day in age. -Donovan Savage

I loved this video! This is a topic that I believe SO strongly in. I love how the video not only interviewed women but also men saying that women are just as capable as the men. Also I like how they explain all sides of what women serving had to go through even in the past because that is what started the movement that women are just as capable. This was a great video choice.

I agree with Abbie! I love seeing the progress that women have made so far in the military, going from being just nurses and having to hide who they really were just to fight for their country to actually being able to protect and serve. I have such a deep respect for those who serve our country and it makes me especially proud that people are realizing that women are just as crucial to the military as men are! Great video and topic choice!
