In early February this year, 50 young girls volunteered to join the army. After three months of training, they looked more mature and sturdy and have become a close-knit force that is ready for combat. One day under the fierce heat of the sun at Military Zone 7’s school, located in Thu Duc district, just like the male soldiers, the 50 beautiful young girls had to undergo rigorous training ranging from shooting with real bullets, using dynamite, and throwing grenades to a physical training test. They did not receive any special favors, because this is a military school. However, there is a difference between female soldiers and their male counterparts since it’s easy to spot images that capture feminity among them after training exercises.
