Career military women who served in Vietnam: Happier and in better health than all women

(Columbia University's Mailman School of Public Health) A study of American women deployed to Vietnam for military or civilian service shows that 48 percent of career military women were very happy compared to 38 percent of women in the general population, and of better than average physical and mental health. The study is the first study about the experiences of civilian women deployed to a warzone versus military women and match their health and happiness with their peers.
