there is a stretch of highway recently dedicated to a young servicewoman who died in "combat"... her convoy hit either mines or car bombs detonated remotely. That's part of the current way that war is being "fought"...

Anyway... females in the military often have more issues with sexual harrassment from their own "superiors" who either participate or cover up such inappropriate behavior. It seems that there are still plenty of jerks who have yet to realize that having a Y chromosome does not impart any kind of superiority to them... they are still jerks in the end.
