Answer:
One sister had wanted to be a soldier since she was young. The other planned to have a career in the U.S. Foreign Service, which is the diplomatic service of the United States. Both celebrated a milestone for the U.S. Army this summer: Major General Maria Barrett and Brigadier General Paula Lodi are believed to be the first pair of sisters to become generals, the military branch's highest rank.
"The fact that both of us would have come from the same family, it almost makes you want to go out and get a lottery ticket," Barrett said. "Except, this is not a game of chance. It is hard work, it is strong leadership skills."
Their rise to the rank of general signals to younger soldiers that women can fill respected leadership roles in the traditionally male-dominated Army, said Emma Moore. She does research for the military, veterans and society program at the Center for a New American Security, a bipartisan think tank that studies national security.
"They're testaments to the fact that you can join the Army and have very different experiences and rise to the top," Moore said. "There's a job for anyone and everyone in the military."

In acts 1 and 2 of Julius Caesar, Brutus is in conflict with himself.
In the soliloquy in Act 2 Scene 1 in the tragedy of Julius Caesar explains Brutus' involvement in the assassination plot against Ceasar as he thinks about the consequences if Caesar is crowned. He compares the crowning procedure of Caesar to that of the hatching of a serpent from the egg. He assumes that when Caesar would become the king of Rome he will show his cruel nature and bring destruction to the people of Rome. Hence, Brutus joins the conspiracy against Caesar in order to prevent Rome from the ambitious nature of Caesar in the coming future.
