(2015·无锡市普通高中高三期末考试)When Major Mary Jennings Hegar was serving as a captain in Afghanistan, her aircraft was shot down by enemy fire while she and her crew were taking back injured soldiers. Though injured, she completed the rescue mission (任务) while under fire on the ground and received the Purple Heart and the Distinguished Flying Cross for “outstanding heroism and selfless devotion to duty”.
However, Hegar did not get credit for serving in combat (战斗), for it is illegal for women to be in official combat positions and to get the benefits that come with them. Hegar and three other servicewomen filed a lawsuit (诉讼) in federal court in San Francisco on Nov. 27 in a longoverdue challenge to the Pentagons (五角大楼) ban.
Women have always served in the military (and lost their lives), but Congress and the Pentagon have limits on them. In 1988 the military adopted the “risk rule”, which allowed women to be kept out of even noncombat positions if they were likely to be at risk of being fired on or captured (被俘). In 1994 it dropped that rule, but then Secretary of Defense Les Aspin adopted the ban on placing women in official ground combat positions, after a poll showed weak public support for allowing women to volunteer for combat.
