Enrichment- Women at Arms

   Women in Combat 

     This article talks about the negative impacts that women are facing due to the fact that they were in the military and fought wars. Many female combat veterans are suffering from post traumatic stress disorder. This disease causes the women to isolate themselves to avoid embarrassment  Majority of the time the women who are suffering, begin to avoid their spouses and their children. The women seek to be alone because they feel that they are people of high rankings in the military so they cannot be seen as someone who is "mentally unstable". The number of women who are suffering psychologically has been increasing continually. Women are prevented from fighting on the ground or on the front lines yet the amount of women who are suffering is almost equal in proportion with the amount of men. 

     Women are affected more than men because when a man returns home from war as a veteran, he can drink at the bar with his war buddies, yet a woman is left to suffer by herself. 
     Some people believe that women are handling and dealing with the stress of combat as well as male soldiers are.
