Soldiers of Conscience

I think that it is great that women will be allowed to serve in combat roles. In this day and age, equality between men and women is emphasized. So why were only men allowed to serve in combat? There are plenty of women who strive for military equality and are eager to participate in combat. However, if I were drafted into the military I do not know what I would do. "Soldiers of Conscience" gave me a knew view on what the soldiers go through. They are trained to put all emotions and morality aside to kill. Some of the soldiers talked about how difficult it was for them to see an injured woman or starving child on the side of the road and not be able to help them. For these reasons,as well as my faith and knowing that killing another human being is wrong, I would not be able to serve in combat. At the same time, I would consider the patriotic aspect of serving my country and protecting United States citizens. Overall, if drafted, I do not know at this point if I would be a CO or a soldier.
