None. WWI, WWII, Korea, and Vietnam were all fought by men. Women were part of the WACs & WAVEs. In 1975 the WACs & WAVEs were disbanded and political correctness and equal opportunity employment for the all volunteer US Military took over.

∙ 13y agoDuring WWII, Korea, and Vietnam, women in the US Army were not considered soldiers, even though they technically were and had the term "US Army" sewn on their uniforms and drew government pay.
US military women were part of the WACs, WAVES, or WAFs during the Vietnam War and did not count as "fighting strength" for cold war purposes, as they only fulfilled a supporting role in the military, such as administrative or medical (see film MASH as one example).
Therefore, in the Vietnam War, approximately 7,500 US females served in the RVN: 5,000 WACs; 2,000 WAFs; and about 527 WAVES (includes USMC women).
8 were killed in Vietnam: 7 by accidents, 1 was killed when a rocket struck her hospital or living quarters.
