MILITARY A Tribute To 7 Of The Most Bad-A$$ Female Soldiers Of All Time
ByRichard AnthonyPublished on May 25, 2018
Men have always dominated the chronicles of military history, but what about women? It would be foolish to think that there weren’t any women who stepped into the role of soldier and through their extreme acts of bravery, saved the lives of their fellow service members. I am proud to present you this tribute to our fellow sister service members, who by their extreme acts of valor, have earned them a place in history.

Now, even though I’m what you call “old school”, don’t think for a moment that I don’t respect women in our armed forces, I am truly a believer in “equal opportunity” for the sexes and if women really want to serve in front line combat duty, than who am I to deny them that option. In the video below there are 7 prime examples of incredible women who stepped into men’s shoes (or should I say ” combat boots”) and earned them a special place in history.

As far as I’m concerned, I believe that the United States government needs to re-think the role of the female soldier, and I’m sure that a lot of men and women would agree with me. Take the IDF (Israel Defense Force) for example, according to wikipedia; The women in the Israel Defense Forces are female soldiers who serve in the Israel Defense Forces. Israel is one of only a few countries in the world with a mandatory military service requirement for women.

According to the IDF, 535 female Israeli soldiers had been killed in combat operations between the period 1962-2016 (this figure does not include the dozens of female soldiers killed in Israeli service prior to 1962). I believe that women should play a bigger role in combat operations, especially here in the United States military.

But I digress…watch the video below and if you want, please feel free to mention your favorite female military hero in the comment section.

I think all women are great
But I don't think the fair sex should be on the front lines

I tend to agree with you but like in politics and football they never seem to ask for my opinion as to what they should do. I looked at this video and these women were badass and if a woman believes in something just get out of her way she will do it. Some of those women make our men look like the women. I have read about women snipers and they are crack shots at long yardage. Some women are designed to fight just ask some of our boys who happened to marry them.

I understand where you are coming from they are definitely a distractant to what they are supposed to be doing on the front line. As nurses and medics OK but not up front fighting with our guys where they need to be alert and looking a woman is not what war is all about right. There be time enough for that when the fighting's done. If a guy wants to daydream then he can do it about fishing.

There are exceptions . My experience with woman even during a training exercise was not good . One even complained just to get promoted to Spec4 .

Colonel Anne Mackintosh, Scotland's 'Beautiful Rebel.'

"Colonel Anne Mackintosh, Scotland's 'Beautiful Rebel,'" tells the story of a Highland lady who risked everything, including her life, for her love of Scotland and its rightful king.

In turbulent 18th century Scotland, "Bonnie Prince Charlie" fought to regain the Stuart throne of Scotland and England that had belonged to his ancestor. Among the Highlanders supporting his cause - to the death, if need be - was Lady Anne Mackintosh, the wife of Angus, Chief of Clan Mackintosh. But her husband, Angus, was fighting on the other side, for the English king, and against the "Bonnie Prince." Undaunted, Anne raised Clan Mackintosh and Clan Chattan to fight for the Prince. No wonder he called her, in the French he spoke so well, "La Belle Rebelle," the "beautiful rebel." Had she been a man, she would automatically have been the colonel of the approximately 800 fighting men she enlisted. Instead, she was known affectionately as "Colonel Anne" to her friends, to history, and to the English - who wanted to hang her for her treasonous and rebellious deeds.
