Were Women a Help or Bother During the Vietnam War?
Are women capable of handling battles and all its components? Of course because all throughout history women have made significant contributions to America, especially the Vietnam War. The United States has been slower to include women in its military planning and actions. Men believed in saving the United States from communism, and many women believed they could make a difference in the battle. Women, military as well as civilian, volunteered to go to Vietnam for a variety of reasons, as they wanted to show love and companion to men, they wanted to show their independency as feminists disputing the fact that many Americans believed women were not capable of handling such a traumatic war.

Women at war were also providing mental support towards the lonely men who had no optimism.

Seeing as their brothers, boyfriends, and husbands were being called to duty, many felt obliged to serve their country as well. Women had as much contact as they either desired to have with men during times of combat. Women military personnel had foster area duties only and no contact to combat, except accidentally. Any contact with men would originally have to do with her responsibilities (“Women in Vietnam”). Women did an incredible service by healing our men’s injuries, giving them comfort and being there in moral support.
