An interesting and sexist film which applauds women for their role in the us armed forces. Let me rephrase that, the women are applauded for the sexist roles that they were placed in while in the service. We see (in an amazing scene) men just bursting out of their chairs from the typing pool to let the women take over, while the men do the tasks that women "can't do". narrated with vigor by Walter Cronkite, this is a sharply narrated film, with GREAT images and history about women in the military.

Surprisingly classy film about the contributions and value of women to America's military. Narrated by Walter Cronkite, the piece repeatedly emphasizes the work that women have done and are doing to preserve the American way of life, with the only condescention (to modern ears) coming that the work women to "best" is helping the men in combat.

Women are shown in a variety of jobs, from nursing (natch), operating radio equipment, plotting courses on maps, operating intelligence equipment, and other jobs. Ends with women being awarded for their service, and the idea that women are needed in the military to supplement our "manpower."
