However, there is a large number of people who have issues with the military and how it is run. 

Some of the issues are: 
  • Women not being allowed in the military or in certain parts of the military
  • People of Color given lower rank or put in more dangerous areas
  • Sexual assault is common in the military
  • Discrimination against LGBTQ+ people 
  • The amount of money that the military spends
  • The draft forces young men to join the military against their will. 
Use the sections below to explore some of these issues.
