Posts about "women"
According to a story released by CNN on December 13, there are more cases of women diagnosed with and suffering from Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) than at any other time of our nation’s military history.
The reason for this sharp increase is simple: there are more women in combat today than ever before.
It is an unfortunate but true reality that many women veterans in this country go uncelebrated in comparison to their male counterparts. Many are surprised to learn that we now have nearly 2 million female veterans in the United States, a number that will rise to 10% of the United States veteran population by the year 2020.
While the contributions of female veterans may not be as obvious to those outside the military, I can certainly go on the record as saying they are as integral an aspect as any in modern combat zones. That is why I’m pleased about a new service being offered by the Department of Veteran Affairs.
