When comparing men's ability to women's ability, is there really a big difference? Many people believe that
      differences do take place, but how? Both men and women have hopes, dreams, strengths, weaknesses, and goals.
      Even though these similarities exist, women are still sometimes thought to be lower than their male peers. There
      have been many cases in which women felt they were being treated differently than the males around them. But,
      did you ever think there would be the problem of inequality between men and women in America's defense
      system? Both men and women have the right to serve in the military; but, many times women face discrimination
      and the problem of being unaccepted, possibly affecting women's ability to serve their country. The military was
      fully integrated in the mid-1970s (Moskos 107). Yet, twenty-some years later, women are still trying to gain full
      equality. In those past twenty years, there have been many courageous women who have been fighting their way
      into record-breaking positions so their male peers would accept them. Two of these women are Shannon Faulkner
      and Shannon Workman. Faulkner was the first woman to become a cadet at the Citadel as she walked through the
      gates on August 12, 1995. Faulkner entered the 152-year-old military school located in South Carolina as a "knob,"
      or a first year cadet. Upon her arrival, the military made exceptions to certain rules for her, one being that older
      male cadets could not go through her drawers looking for underwear that was not folded properly. A private
      bathroom with surveillance cameras was also constructed for Faulkner to prevent any foul play (Sack 6). The
      second of these two women was Shannon Workman. In 1994, she became the first woman to qualify as a female
      pilot who was combat ready in the Navy (Schmitt 15). Although the military and the public recognize women like
      Faulkner and Workman, many women who work to reach their goals go unrecognized. Women have been a part of
      the Marine Corps since 1943; but today (after over fifty years) women make up a mere five- percent of the Corps
      population. In the Navy, women were invited onto hospital ships in 1977. Today they too make up a small portion of
      the system with only ten- percent. The Air Force and the Army have the greatest percentage of women. The
      Army has eleven- percent and the Air Force has fourteen- percent...
