Do you think ground combat positions in the armed forces should be open to women?
Do you think ground combat positions in the armed forces should be open to women?
I am a female Vietnam-era veteran. I was a Korean-language trained soldier in the US Army Security Agency, reporting directly through NSA. We (myself and many other females) were not only stationed in a "combat zone," but were expected to perform just as our male counterparts. We had no problem with that. Why would we? We trained along side them. We were just as capable. Technically we were not considered "ground combat" troops. But because of our mission, intercepting North Korean military communications, we were often placed directly in harms way. Because we were also ‘techinally’ spies, we did not have the same Geneva Convention protections as ground combat troops should we have been captured. And that was in the 1970s.
The point I’m trying to make is, we’re already there. Remove the artificial semantics and allow women serving in combat roles the same respect and treatment we do the men in those same roles.
As others have said, why is this even a discussion in this day and age?
