Young people observe and interpret the world they inherited from older people and are not afraid of change. For these reasons I feel that young people have much to teach older people.

　　Given the technological advances in the military, I have to disagree with those who think women are not good candidates for service. Traditional strength is not needed for newer lightweight equipment and non-battle situations. Women can bring their keen intelligence to help meet today’s military needs. Some of this new work calls for sophisticated computer skills. Women are known to multi task and interpret well. Also known are women’s fine motor skill and reflexes that suit high tech positions. Meanwhile military strategists welcome the different approaches to strategic thinking that women bring as a result of the way they process information. In conclusion, women train hard to be both mentally and physically prepared for duty. There are just some of the reasons women are good candidates for military service.
