All women in the US military in Vietnam were either administrative personnel or medical nurses and they were not allowed near the front lines but operated in major base camps such as Quang Tri, Phu Bai, Da Nang, etc. They didn't operate at firebases, as a rule. US military women most assuredly were awarded Bronze Stars for Meritorious Achievements.

Why are war veterans heros?
During WWI, WWII, Korean War, and the Vietnam War, fighting men were just doing their duty. War heros in those wars HAD TO EARN that title! By being awarded the "V" device or other such medal, such as the Bronze Star w/V (the Bronze Star, in Vietnam, could be award for Meritorius Achievement), Silver Star, Medal of Honor, etc. etc. After the Vietnam War, civilians (and to some extent the military) began abusing that title, calling everybody a hero...which reduced the value of the real heros...to the point where YOU MUST NOW QUESTION...What's a hero?! For the American Fighting Men of WWII, Korea, and the Vietnam Wars, we were just doing our jobs as the military ordered it to be done (combat veterans). When any man was awarded a medal for gallantry (Valor), he earned it on the field of battle (war hero). That's the difference.
