Interesting fact about women in the Israeli army. :biggrin:

Some 31% of IDF is female. This is because both men and women must perform military service at the age of 18. Israel also is the only nation who drafts women and also places them directly in the line of fire.

Interesting facts about the Aussie army. :biggrin:

It was way back in 1899 that women started serving in the military, but only in medical operations. They were then allowed to move into support and as submarine crew in 1942; the Australian government allowed women on the front lines just recently in 2011.

Interesting facts about women in combat in Pakistan. :biggrin:

There is no other country in the Islamic world which allows women to serve in combat, except Pakistan. Their female soldiers are trained specifically for combat missions, particularly in sniper, airborne and infantry warfare. Given the thumbs up by this female pilot, these women seem to definitely earn their feathers.

Interesting facts about the Norwegian army. :biggrin:

Norway has an odd history when it comes to female soldiers. Having been active in all branches in 1938, they were demoted to only civilian duties in 1947 after a political shift. Later in 1977 and 1984, they slowly began to be able to do more, and in 1995 they were permitted to serve as submarine crew. Today there is at least one woman who commands a submarine. Maybe it is this woman in the red beret.
