During the 19th century, wars were fought using simple ineffective ways to battle that caused major casualties. Such examples were the lined up of men on opposite side and shot each other down like the battle of Gettysburg. There was also the lack of reinforcements due to nonexistent communications and simple one loaded rifles such as musket rifles.

However, it has been proven that with proper training, women can become just as strong as men their same size. (USARIEM) Another reason commonly brought up is that women can’t handle the stress of battle and that they have too much mental anguish. Col. Carl Castro, director of Military Operational Research

Advances in technology can bring about dramatic changes in military operations, often termed revolutions in military affairs or RMAs. Such technology-driven changes in military operations are not merely a recent phenomenon: they have been occurring since the dawn of history, they will continue to occur in the future, and they will continue to bestow a military advantage on the first nation to develop and use them. Accordingly, it is important to the continued vitality and robustness of the U.S. defense

What is perhaps more important, however, is not the actual technology behind the tank, but the concept of the tank itself. The tank is designed to be

Throughout history, thousands - if not millions - of wars have been fought: spanning many nations around the world and resulting in both violence and peace. Since 1900 there has been roughly 500 major wars or conflicts; a pathetic 19 of the 500 battles concluded without violence. Despite the common cries of people proclaiming violence is never the answer, armed conflict is the underlying foundation of why today (2015) a majority of the world is at peace and so many nations bear sovereignty. Despite
