All women who served militarily in the conflict were volunteers from the standpoint that, unlike many male counterparts, they voluntarily joined the military, most in the early stages of the war. Although there was some discussion about drafting military nurses, the idea never took hold. Many military women asked to be assigned to the war zone.
Roles
The various military roles of women in the Vietnam War were more limited than is the norm today. There were no womenhelicopter or plane pilots, truck drivers, or mechanics working in combat zones. However, there were a large number of females serving in conditions often as dangerous and draining.
In the article "Unarmed and Under Fire: An Oral History of Female Vietnam Vets",written for Salon.com, author Austin Bunn says "they served prominently in Saigon, in the Mekong Delta and at Long Binh, which was, for a time, the largest Army headquarters in the world. They could not fight, nor were they allowed to carry weapons to defend themselves. Most were part of the pioneering Women's Army Corps (WAC), created in 1942 to integrate the armed forces
They worked as intelligence analysts, air traffic controllers, photographers, interrogators, mapmakers and office-support personnel. But of the 7,500 military women sent "in-country," an estimated eight out of ten served as nurses.
Casualties
Nine military nurses and 58 civilian women, from both America and Australia, died while serving in Vietnam. The majority were killed in plane, helicopter, or other vehicle crashes, although at least one female died from shrapnel wounds suffered during a mortar attack. Dr. Eleanor Ardel Vietti, anAmerican civilian nurse taken prisoner in 1962, is the only female casualty who remains listed as a POW/MIA.
Rememberance
The Vietnam Women's Memorial was dedicated on November 11, 1993. It stands with the Vietnam Veteran's Memorial on the National Mall in Washington D.C.
