Women have serve in the US armed forces since the colonial times. By WWII women represented the 2% of the armed forces. In the Irak war women represented the 15% of the armed forces the same with people serving in all capacities in the army.
the women's role in the military has been debated for a long time. Some say that women are more intelligent than military man. But in our society is more common to see a women as a nurturer.
In our times war is more technological and advanced so soldier don't need to be necessarily in the fire line.
