They are where the men injured in combat go to get treated, fed, and cleaned up, and taken care of.
Please go back and read carefully what I wrote. I did not ever say that medical personnel are fighting. What I said is that women are already in combat zones, using field hospitals as one example (because I am familiar with them), but certainly not the only example. This is in support of my observation that there appears to be no evidence that women would handle combat psychologically any different than men. No better, no worse. Physically is a different matter.
FYI, those doctors and nurses treating those combat casualties are under a lot of psychological stress. They feel personally responsible for every patient who doesn't make it. That, too, is a combat stress.
Who knows what you are arguing about, you seem to just want to argue no matter how much you have to keep moving and changing the subject.
Post 17 was accurate and a reasonable post, but man has it set you off on a wide ranging search for some kind of argument, from Vietnam to female casualties.

“”I think that, psychologically, women are just as capable of handling combat as men. After all, women already work in areas that bring them very close to combat; in the capacity of doctors and nurses, they routinely deal with combat-caused injuries and psychological problems.””
Working in a hospital, is hardly combat, they don’t have anything in common at all.
