Women in the MilitaryThis is a featured page

Women in the Army? Mill'enese culture defines a woman as the equal to a man and therefore there should be no bar or restrictions on women in the military.

In reality, certain officers seem to have the odd qualm about this in practice. Some cite personal experiences and others believe that women are not physically capable of performing under the kind of conditions a soldier must bear. Many proponents of women in the army attribute these objections to the inability of the officer in question to contain their own emotions or previous embarrassment of a related manner.

It is also noteworthy that though many officers object to women soldiers and also to officers allowing their wives to accompany them into the field, even in peacetime, there has been little outcry at the continuation of the Old World practice known as 'camp following' whereby young women, usually of low birth, accompany the army. This is in spite of the recognition that the camp followers are put in similar danger to the soldiers should they come under attack.
