Many people think that the army is not for women but others do not agree with them and think that they are women who should decide to join military forces or not.

Traditionally, only men do their military service in Russia.

Women can join the army only as medical or administrative personnel so it is a job for them.

Why do not Russians laws allow women serve for the country?

I believe that this is a matter of equal rights which are not fulfilled in this country.

I think that people incline to the view that women should not be allowed to serve in the army because they consider women as the fair sex.

They believe that women should be protected while they are sitting home, doing only housework and giving birth to children.

In my opinion, this is a very conservative and not politically correct view because it is against the idea of equal rights of all people.

By the way, why must men serve in the army?

I don't think that is the right thing.

On the one hand, this country is not at a great war that demands many men to be involved in.

On the other hand, the military training of this army leaves much to be desired.

Thus, I believe that it is a waste of time for young men who do not cast in their lot with the army.

In conclusion, I would like to say that Russia should have a quite small but very effective and modern-equipped professional army which men and women can join if they are able to serve and pass the entrance examination.

Serving in the army should become a prestigious and highly-paid job.
