Changing Role of Women

Oct-30-2008 » Filed Under: 1/25 SBCT , General Military

The Honolulu Advertiser has a great article on the changing role of women in the armed forces, which features a number of soldiers from the 2/25 SBCT.

In Iraq and Afghanistan, women fly fighter planes and attack helicopters.

They are on the front lines on the ground, and nearly 100 have been killed in the nation's two wars. They are allowed to serve in many jobs, but not all.

There are no women crew members on U.S. submarines. In the Army, women are barred from certain specialties, including infantry, armor, field artillery and Special Forces, but the traditional no-go lines are getting more blurred all the time.
