There are still no reliable records for how many women served during the Vietnam conflict. Numbers for women who served in-country are even more imprecise. The currently accepted estimate is 7,500, and a majority of women served as nurses. However, there were also women who served in the Army, Air Force, Navy, and Marines, both as officers and enlisted personnel. They arrived in Vietnam almost a decade before all-male ground combat troops were committed to Da Nang in 1965. They were there until the final withdrawal of American ground troops in 1973. However, the last military woman died in 1975 during Operation Babylift. Though women were not officially in combat positions, they were nonetheless exposed to danger. They were under constant threat from machine gun fire, ambush, and bombing, and lived in fear of being captured and killed or held as prisoners of war. Eight women lost their lives in Vietnam, and their names are on the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall in Washington, D.C. When women veterans returned home after the war, many had trouble adjusting to post-war life. They experienced Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and sought help from the psychological community and the Veterans Administration. Neither entity was fully prepared to accommodate the special needs of women veterans. Women veterans also struggled to erect their own monument in Washington, D.C. They succeeded as the United States came to terms with the most unpopular war in its history.
