In recent years opportunities for women in the U.S. military havebeen expanding. But 200000 jobs may remain closed to women for avariety of reasons. Recently two female Army Reserve officers suedthe government for excluding them from formal assignment tospecific Army combat units and other positions solely because oftheir gender (Sampson 2012). They argue that being excluded fromthese assignments limits their opportunities for advancement inthe Army and restricts their current and future earnings and theirretirement benefits. They also argue that the Armys practice ofattaching them to such units (instead of formally assigningthem which is barred under Army rules) actually exposes them togreater danger than male soldiers because women are excluded fromcombat-arms training for engaging hostile opponents.Respond to this 3-part question in your initial post:
