Can You Make Soldiers in Coed Basic Training
basic combat training turns civilians into soldiers by teaching them basic soldier skills. These skills do not teach soldiers how to fight, but how to survive. All soldiers need theses skills because, as shown by the recent conflicts in Iraq, any soldier can be thrown into a combat situation. Males and females should not go through basic training together because it distracts them from learning the basic soldiering skills needed to survive in a combat situation.

When soldiers finish all their training needed for their job, they will end up at their new...
Hmmm........
I can see the points you make, but I don't entirely agree with your points. See, I attend a boarding military high school, which may be a bit different from actual service, but the ideas are the same. If a woman can't be subjected to the same conditions as men in training, how are we ever supposed to survive combat? Training should know no gender. There should be rules about people getting involved, and you should express your feelings to your unit, not on some cheat site. Anywayz, good essay...there were parts where you had bad punctuation....you started the essay with a lower case letter, but all in all you did well.
