the implications for female soldiers
It’s been reported that the American army in Iraq is for the first time putting women in support units near the front line of combat due to a shortage of male troops.
With the nature of modern warfare changing in countries such as Iraq and Afghanistan, what implications does this have on the role of women in the army? What obstacles lie in the way of their increased participation?
Martha discusses the issues with author, Janine di Giovanni and Tim Garden, Former Assistant Chief of the Defence Staff and Defence Spokesman for the Liberal Democrats in the House of Lords.
