Keep in mind, that statistics continue to be updated: 8 US military female personnel were killed in Vietnam. One 1st Lieutenant Nurse was killed when enemy rockets struck her building. One was killed while a passenger on board a helicopter when it accidently crashed. One was killed, while riding as a passenger in a Jeep, which accidently crashed. Five were killed, during Operation Baby Lift; the evacuation of South Vietnam, in 1975. The largest US Air Force transport at that time, the C-5 Galexy, had filled up with women & children evacuee's. It crashed during take off, killing most people aboard.

∙ 14y agoEqual opportunity occurred AFTER Vietnam. Vietnam was the last traditional war fought by men. Women in Vietnam and the US Military were ALL VOLUNTEERS, and they mostly served in the medical field. US Military leadership in Vietnam consisted of World War II commanders (Westmoreland, Abrams, Colonel Patton (GEN Patton's son), Curtis LeMay, etc.) and they fought Vietnam WWII style; which was the only way they knew. American tradition in Vietnam, Korea, WWII, WWI, etc. required that "Mom and Apple Pie" were to be protected; consequently, US women were protected...by men. Only 8 US military females died in Vietnam, and 7 of those were in accidents. 5 were killed during "Operation Baby Lift" when the C-5 Galaxy they were in crashed on take off during the evacuation of South Vietnam in 1975.
