About this Quote

This quote by Phyllis Schlafly suggests that the need for women in battle is driven by female officers who are inspired by the possibility of medals and promos. This suggests that the female officers are not necessarily motivated by a desire to serve their country, however rather by a desire to advance their own professions. This might be viewed as a criticism of the female officers, as it implies that they are more worried about their own personal gain than with the higher good. It might likewise be viewed as a criticism of the military system, as it implies that the system rewards those who are willing to put their own interests ahead of the interests of their nation. Ultimately, this quote recommends that the need for women in battle is driven by self-interest instead of patriotism.
