Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: Gender issues in the United States military today continue to provoke debate and reflect the way gender identity is performed and constructed through military training and service. This paper explores the roles that male and female soldiers have performed since 9/11, as well as how those roles are reinforced, blurred, or rendered invisible in order to maintain a specific kind of military identity that continues to exclude women. Gender theory, feminist international relations theory, the self/other binary, and studies of masculinity are all used as tools in the examination of being a victim, a torturer, a mother or father, and being a soldier, and how these roles, performances, and identity construction mutually constitute one another. Bodies enter in as an important part of the inclusion of men in and the exclusion of women from military identity. The war on terror adds another dimension to the situation, with American soldiers negotiating both women in combat, who are much needed but serving in the role unofficially, and a blurred line between civilians and enemy combatants. The use of National Guard troops in the war is also explored, due to their separate identity from that of the full time military. Finally, change in the military is discussed, whether women will ever enter on their own terms or if they will merely remain women performing soldierhood instead of full soldiers, as well as potential shifts in military identity, which could potentially include its fusion with civilian identity.
