During WWI, WWII, Korea, and Vietnam women volunteered for the military, and for overseas assignments, including Vietnam.
1. Approximately 34,000 US women served in the US Military during WWI; and 38 died, mostly from the flu.
2. Approximately 350,000 US women served in the US military during WWII; 200 died, 4 received the Silver Star, and 77 were POWs.
3. Approximately 46,000 US women served in the US military; but only 600 US females served in the Korean War, assigned to medical duties.
7. Approximately 261,000 US women served in the US military; 7,500 in Vietnam; 5,000 US Army; 2,000 US Air Force; 500 US Navy; and 27 US Marine Corps. Eight (8) US military women died in Vietnam; with the exception of 1, all died from accidents.
How did it change their lives? Most likely the same as it affected the lives of the US females in previous US wars. People experience war in one of two ways; they either volunteered for it, or it was forced upon them (drafted). Whichever manner applies to them, would have a bearing on how it affected them.
All allied female pesonnel, regardless of their status (job) were assigned to large permenant military bases such as Quang Tri Base Camp (I Corps, 5th Mechanized Inf. Division), Bien Hoa (III Corps, Reception Center), Tay Ninh (III Corps, 25th Inf. Division), Plieku (II Corps, 4th Inf. Division), Bien Phuc (I Corps, 101st Airborne (Airmobile) Division), Chu Lai (I Corps, Americal Division), etc.
Men wounded in the field were taken care of by medics on the battlefield; from there they were walked, driven, or flown to a positioned larger force (Company/Troop, Battalion, Brigade, etc.) for further treatment. From there they might be flown or ground transported to a nearby firebase, from there or skipping the firebase (they were for firing cannons not medical treatment), straight on to the BIG BASES where all the females nurses were located.
Treatment at the BIG bases was the latest in military medical technology; extremely seriously wounded men (death imminent) had to be airlifted to "the world" ASAP.
During the Vietnam War, WWII, etc. all US military women were either WACs, WAVES, or WAFs.
Males nurses also existed in the service during the cold war. Female military nurses served: 1. WWII-68,000 female nurses; 200 were killed. 2. Korea-600 female nurses, none allowed to serve on the front lines. 3. Vietnam-7,500 female nurses; none allowed to be on the front lines, 8 were killed, all but one by accidents.
No change; the cold war was still on.
Over 50,000 Americans were killed and missing in action during the Vietnam War.
Australian society mirrored American society after the war, on a smaller scale, due to population differences.

Save lives.
8 US Nurses died in Vietnam, all but one from accidents.
US Female nurses volunteered for the military; in most cases they also volunteered for Vietnam; where they were needed most. Volunteers looked at the war differently than draftees.
The Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall; the "Three Servicemen"; and the "Women Nurses."
The Vietnam Womens Memorial is one of the three parts that make up the Vietnam Veterans Memorial; it is a statue consisting of two nurses (most women in the Vietnam War were nurses, making these nurses a symbol) and an injured man in one of the nurse's arms.
During the Vietnam War, WWII, etc. all US military women were either WACs, WAVES, or WAFs.

The statue represents the US Military Nurses that served in the Vietnam War. The roles of women during the Vietnam War, were the same as portrayed during the Korean War (see films: MASH), WWII, and World War I.
Australian nurses worked in a similar fashion as US nurses did, in main base and field hospitals, as well as the US Navy's floating hospital ships.
