Women Were Vital To Military Success In War
Seattle PI Plus Magazine article.
http://www.seattle-pi.com/awards/witnesstowar/womenatwar.html

Extractions: SEATTLE POST-INTELLIGENCER REPORTER A small loophole in Navy regulations changed the course of history for American women. "Is there any regulation which specifies that a Navy yeoman be a man?" Secretary of the Navy Josephus Daniels asked in 1917. With that question, he solved an emerging manpower crisis as America readied itself for war, and he also made military history, said Lettie Gavin, Seattle author of "American Women in World War I: They Also Served," (University Press of Colorado, 295 pages, $29.95). Gavin, a retired former editor for the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, spent several years racing to track down stories of WWI women before they all passed away. Many of those stories are captured in her book, which is going into its third printing. The women were critical to the success of the military's operation in Europe.

By 1983, a mere 6 years later, women military pilots were flying reconnaissance and refueling missions, served as test pilots, were carrier qualified and were even instructor pilots. Despite the ban on women serving in combat, which was not lifted until 1993, the five women pictured in this design, Kim Corcoran, Karen Jeglum Pettyjohn, Katie Creveling, Lynn South Sherlock and Carol Timmons, were flying T-38's as instructors and student pilots. Most of these women are still on active duty or serving in the Reserves while raising families and pursuing careers with the major airlines.

Loretta Sanchez grew more and more incensed as she read aloud from a letter sent to her by a woman serving in the U.S. Army. The soldier wrote that her birth-control failed her and she became pregnant. To preserve her military career, she decided to have an abortion. But she was stationed in Germany. And under a law passed by Congress in 1996 and reaffirmed recently, abortions cannot be performed at military hospitals, even at the expense of the patient. So, the soldier wrote, she had to take vacation time, fly back to the United States and have an abortion there. She was out $1,100, and returned to work angry at the country she was fighting to protect. "I can only remember thinking at the time how unfair it was that I had to resort to these drastic measures," the soldier wrote in September 2001. "Had I been in the states, it would have been no issue. I remember being resentful of my fellow male comrades, who are able to have vasectomies at the cost of the military in Germany. And I had to use my leave time and own funds to fly back to the U.S. for what is also a reproductive choice." Sanchez, a member of the House Armed Services Committee, said she has received a number of similar letters. "A lot of women write to me and they tell me about these humiliating things they have to deal with" because of the Pentagon's ban on abortions, she said during a recent interview in her Capitol Hill office.

Women In World War One
In 1901 and 1908 the establishment of the Army and Navy Nurse Corps opened the door for women in the military. These were the first women in the U.S to be admitted to some military rank and status.
http://userpages.aug.com/captbarb/femvets4.html

Extractions: Thirty Thousand Women Were There In 1901 and 1908 the establishment of the Army and Navy Nurse Corps opened the door for women in the military but ever so slightly. It wasn't until the United States got involved in World War One that some parts of the government got serious about using woman power. As the Army stumbled around bureaucratic red tape trying to figure out how to enlist women the Navy simply ignored the War Department dissenters and quickly recruited women. Nearly 13,000 women enlisted in the Navy and the Marine Corps on the same status as men and wore a uniform blouse with insignia. The Navy's policy was extended to the Coast Guard, but personnel records from World War I contain scarcely any references to the Coast Guard Yeomanettes. A handful of them apparently were employed at the diminutive Coast Guard headquarters building in Washington. Nineteen-year-old twin sisters Genevieve and Lucille Baker transferred from the Naval Coastal Defense Reserve to become the first uniformed women in the Coast Guard. With the war's end the Coast Guard Yeomanettes, along with their Navy and Marine Corps counterparts, were mustered out of the service.
Women Against Military Servic At The Initiative Of Colombian Women For Peace O
women against military service at the Initiative of Colombian women for Peace OBLIGATORY military SERVICE FOR women MAKES THEM INTO AN ARMED ACTOR.
http://www.refusingtokill.net/Colombia/womenagainstmilitaryservicat.htm

Extractions: OBLIGATORY MILITARY SERVICE FOR WOMEN MAKES THEM INTO AN ARMED ACTOR The proposed law that modifies the obligatory military service and that looks to incorporate women into the ranks of the army - when the circumstances of the country demand it - presented by the ministry of defense, harms the conscientious objection of women, involves them directly in armed conflict, and makes them into military targets. The Initiative of Colombian Women for Peace, expresses its disagreement with and rejection of this initiative that was presented by the minister of defense Martha Lucia Ramirez on April 24 to the Congress. This project is in violation of the liberties and international norms in the defense of peace, while it intends to require women to be part of an armed actor, through the figure of social service. The state cannot under any reason much less that of equality and equity involve the civil population in armed conflict since this leads to more victims and deaths and we support the conscientious objection of all those young people, men and women, who decide not to lend military service nor to go to war. We insist that we women do not give birth to children for war but for peace and we refuse to be recruited for war and to be actors of the conflict.

The Feminist Road To Abu Ghraib By Angela Fiori
The amenability of women to military careers was always a myth. There s now as much sex occurring on Navy ships as in the back seats of cars.
http://www.lewrockwell.com/orig/fiori4.html

Extractions: by Angela Fiori Madeline Albright, on Fox News May 7, stated that she was shocked and sickened by the U.S.-sponsored S&M show at Abu Ghraib prison. This is the same Madeline Albright who said that she thought it was "worth the price" to starve (at the time) an estimated half a million Iraqi children with U.N. sanctions. The Abu Ghraib scandal, more than any U.S. military scandal in recent memory, has exposed the utter depravity of allowing women to enter the armed services. As pictures of the tomboyish U.S. Pfc. Lynndie England made their way around the world last week, it turns out contrary to some reports that labeled her a guard at the prison, England was actually an inmate-processing clerk. In other words, the multiple photos of her dragging a man across the floor on a leash, giving the thumbs up over a pile of nude Iraqi men, and standing in front of hooded men pretending to fire rifle shots at their penises, these photos were all taken while she was visiting her boyfriend, Cpl. Charles Graner, while he was in charge of prisoners at Abu Ghraib. took the photos (note feminist Laura Berman's attempt to blame the male Graner for this), participated in torturing the hooded Iraqi seen in one photo standing on a box with wires coming from his hands, wrote "rapeist" on another prisoner's leg, and best yet, posed for a photo with a corpse, a man who had been beaten to death at the prison. While Harman's parents are claiming she took the photos to document the abuse, other evidence indicates she was an enthusiastic participant, often running and jumping on piles of stacked, nude Iraqi men to crush and hurt them.

Extractions: THE WOMEN'S ARMY CORPS: A COMMEMORATION OF WORLD WAR II SERVICE By Judith A. Bellafaire CMH Publication 72-15 Introduction World War II was the largest and most violent armed conflict in the history of mankind. However, the half century that now separates us from that conflict has exacted its toll on our collective knowledge. While World War II continues to absorb the interest of military scholars and historians, as well as its veterans, a generation of Americans has grown to maturity largely unaware of the political, social, and military implications of a war that, more than any other, united us as a people with a common purpose. Highly relevant today, World War II has much to teach us, not only about the profession of arms, but also about military preparedness, global strategy, and combined operations in the coalition war against fascism. During the next several years, the U.S. Army will participate in the nation's 50th anniversary commemoration of World War II. The commemoration will include the publication of various materials to help educate Americans about that war. The works produced will provide great opportunities to learn about and renew pride in an Army that fought so magnificently in what has been called "the mighty endeavor." World War II was waged on land, on sea, and in the air over several diverse theaters of operation for approximately six years. The following essay on the critical support role of the Women's Army Corps supplements a series of studies on the Army's campaigns of that war.

Chapter I: The Women's Army Corps, 1942-1945
In a surprise move, she added an amendment that would give women military status and the right to be enlisted and appointed in the Army on the same basis as men
http://www.army.mil/cmh-pg/books/wac/chapter1.htm

Extractions: Chapter I The Women's Army Corps, 1942-1945 Women in the Army? Never! In early 1941, "Never!" was a typical reaction to the idea of women serving in the U.S. Army. The subject conjured up pictures of women wearing helmets, carrying rifles, and attacking an enemy in a war zone. But after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, these ideas and images did seem somewhat less outrageous. With new demands on labor-for war plants, for the Army, for the Navy-Americans began to face the reality that manpower shortages would occur in the near future. Enormous numbers of guns and planes had to be produced for the increasing numbers of American soldiers and sailors. The crisis changed the nature of the questions about women in the Army: What could women do in the Army? Would they ever be in combat? What weapons would they fire? Would they be giving orders to men? How would the Army, a traditional male society, accept women into its midst? Some interest in the subject had developed in 1941, before the Japanese attack. Congresswoman Edith Nourse Rogers had introduced a bill in the House of Representatives to establish a Women's Army Auxiliary Corps. She proposed a quasi-military organization of 25,000 women to fill clerical jobs that the Army would otherwise give to enlisted men. Army Chief of Staff George C. Marshall approved the idea. He envisioned such a corps as a conduit for enrolling thousands of women during wartime, thus releasing men from administrative jobs and making them available for combat duty. However, Mrs. Rogers' bill languished during 1941 because Congress was preoccupied with more pressing issues-the lend-lease bill, price controls, war plant production, and labor problems.

Extractions: World War II At the end of WW II there were approximately 12 million people in the U.S. armed forces including 280,000 women. By the summer of 1945 there were nearly 100,000 WACs, 86,000 WAVES, 18,000 women Marines, 11,000 SPARS, 57,000 Army nurses and 11,000 Navy nurses on active duty. More than 350,000 women had served in the military during the war. Nurses In June 1940 there were only 942 women in the U.S. Army Nurse Corps. The following month a conference on the military's need for nurses led to the creation of the Nursing Council for National Defense which surveyed the number of nurses available for military duty and emphasized the need to train additional nurses. On October 8, 1940 Agnes Rosele became the first of the 4,019 Red Cross nurses who would be sworn into the ANC by the end of World War II. Her oath was administered by Capt. James Murchison the adjutant at Walter Reed Hospital in Washington D.C. and the ceremony was photgraphed by the Associated Press. In April 1941 agressive recruiting resulted in a pre-war monthly high of 689 nurses joining the ANC. At the beginning of the war Army and Navy nurses held no rank within the U.S. military, although Army Nurses held "relative rank" within their own corps. On March 13, 1942, Major Julia Flikke, Superintendent of the Army Nurse Corps was given a temporary rank of Colonel in the Army of the United States. Her assistant, Florence Blanchfield, received the temporary rank of Lt. Colonel AUS. Although both were allowed to wear the insignia of their rank they were denied the pay and benefits which accompanied it, an action justified by the Comptroller General on the basis that "women were
