Please name a war during the history of the U.S. (or the world for that matter) in which women were not in some way involved? While you are at it, please define “combat”. Regardless of whether women had arms or were just providing medical treatment to the wounded on the front lines, woman have been “in combat” in most modern wars. This is not to say or suggest that women on the front lines do not present challenges - but, it is what it is.

Yeah, those 16 women killed in action in WWII won the war.
