在军队服役的女性受益于独特的机会，但作为少数群体面临压力，与男性相比，她们对自己的服役更不满意，军旅生涯更短。我们采访了35名美国女退伍军人，了解她们入伍和退伍的决定。在一个人计划、预期或想要之前提前退伍是一个突出的主题，往往是由基于性别的经历引起的，包括人际暴力、骚扰和照顾需要。调查结果可为改善妇女军旅生涯的时间和质量以及在服兵役期间和退役后为妇女提供支助的努力提供指导。
Women who serve in the military benefit from unique opportunities but face strains as a minority population and, compared to men, report greater dissatisfaction with their service and have shorter military careers. We interviewed 35 U.S. women veterans about their decisions to enter and leave military service. Premature separationleaving military service before one plans, expects, or wants towas a prominent theme and was often precipitated by gender-based experiences, including interpersonal violence, harassment, and caregiving needs. Findings can inform efforts to improve the length and quality of women's military careers and support women during and after service.
