According to Snopes:

"The women pictured above, however, are not veterans who suffered losses of limbs to combat injuries. According to a February 2015 article from Globo.com, the photograph shows a group of Brazilian women who gathered together for a calendar photo shoot in order to raise money for amputees who cannot afford prosthetic limbs:

The idea for the project came from Nelson Nolé, an entrepreneur who heads Sorocaba’s prosthetic branch. He said that the calendar will be sold nationally, and the collected monies will cover not only cover the costs of the campaign, but will create a fund to help families who can not afford prosthetics. '[The purpose] is to promote beauty, to show that you have life after amputation, and that these patients can lead full lives that include attending clubs, hanging out with friends, and dating,'stresses Nolé."

Obviously not a female but I do not think I need to be to give an answer to this one. DO NOT BELIEVE EVERYTHING YOU READ ON THE INTERNET. Do we really know if those are former Soldiers? I have seen articles arguing that. Rule of thumb: Take everything with a grain of salt on the internet....including this response. :)
