GeLen	Women have been fighting since the World Wars especially in world war II. you can fight both ways; supporting the US policies overseas at home is one, and you can join up in the army. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Opus Atrum	Absolutely. I think it's been something like 20-30 years. Formerly, women were usually given positions away from the front lines, but this has changed, and continues to change just as society itself does regarding issues like this. One thing worth mentioning; Men between 18 and 25 are required to register for the draft, which, if activated, could mean they'd be required to serve. Women are not required to do this, and a 1980 court ruling promoted by the National Organization for Women and the ACLU was unsuccessful in abetting this discrimination, if you will. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Plz S	Nope, they're going to have periods right in the middle of a fight. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

carmenlafond	They legally are not supposed to be in combat situations. Women attached to combat battallions are called Lionesses. They end up fighting anyway but they are not given the extended training for fighting because they are not supposed to be in direct combat or firefight situations. There is a film called Lionesses which is on dvd, created by PBS. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Ed F	No. women are not assigned combat positions, only positions of support. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

fatty_mcphatfat	The rule is that women can serve but not as general infantry Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

John Mansfield	Women are not allowed in jobs which have a high likelyhood of direct combats such as Infantry, Armor, Artillery or Special Operations. On the other hand, all other jobs are open to women and the current conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan are asymetrical meaning there is no front line and attacks can some at anytime from any direction. Women who find themselves in a combat situation are expected to fight alongside their male counterparts. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Distance H	Women can serve in the military, and hold any post a man can except front line infantry positions. Women can also hold any rank a man can, and make as much money as men do in the military. Good luck. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Hilary☮	Yes. But if you mean infantry, no. But there are Combat Support jobs such as MP. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
