Do u.s. female marines go into infrantry?

Question

i've heard that they don't but then how do some of them die doing something involving the military?

Answer 1

Females in any branch of service do not get put in direct combat roles so No you would not be able to get into a infantry unit.  

Answer 2

Can i also add, I to believe that woman should be allowed to serve in Infantry.

Woman already have roles which put them in line with the enemy. I mean what about those woman marines who worked the check point, only to have a suicide bomber blow himself up. I mean if they have to deal with that crude, they should be allowed infantry.

Answer 3

No they do not get an infantry MOS, they get a support roll, like Motor T or Supply and that's why some of them died, being caught in a convoy and such!

Answer 4

People die because there are no typical "Front lines" like you see in movies. Being deployed in itself is a front line.. you aren't safe anywhere Infantry or not. IED's, mortars etc...

Answer 5

We have support rolls but can end up in combat (like MP's or Supply)... which is why I think that the "no women in Infantry" rule should just be overturned because we're dieing over there too

Answer 6

Just because you're not infantry doesn't mean you can't die. That's why all troops are supported in my eyes. Every single US military enlistee can die in war, if deployed.
