In an article entitled, Living and Fighting Alongside Men, and Fitting in, Steven Myers emphasizes the impact females have had on the battle field. Contemplating the many aspects that have been brought to attention, women have changed the way battle is approached and the necessary requirements to go into battle. It is amazing how just having a woman on the battle field can change the whole perspective of the battle completely. 

In paragraph five Myers stated, " They have cultivated a new generation of women with a warrior ethos-and combat experience." Women have change their way of thinking once going into the army. They further their ability to think on the spot, to enhance their reflex abilities, and can greatly contemplate the best approach on the enemy possible. Greatly adding to the number of soldiers, women are an exquisite addition to the battle field.

Some women are leading men into the battle field, becoming a great aspect to the battle as a whole.
