another article worth adding to the list of suggested reading is this one.
With a race/class analysis by our recent FemMag guest Tressie McMillan Cottom:

Comment on Why Serving In Combat Does Not Serve Women (Or Anyone Else) Well by Jessica

Thank you for this. I don’t think many in the feminist community realize the repercussions of allowing women in the military fully. All it is doing is strengthening patriarchy. War is the ultimate symbol of patriarchy. We need to abolish patriarchy, and one of the ways of doing that is to stop glorifying war. We haven’t had a legitimate war since WWII. The rest since then are just plain stupid, and outright illegal (Vietnam and Iraq).
