gijoe,
To be fair, COIN in Afghanistan, as we have seen, involves a fair amount of conventional infantry warfare against an albeit limited opposition, but lethal just the same. That said, I've only ever gained the impression that U.K. and U.S. military and perhaps the Australians have been directly engaged in firefights against insurgents and Taliban. I'm not sure how many women soldiers and to what level i.e. proportion have been at the thick of it so to speak, nor how involved those units from other countries have gotten, but the argument is now getting down to the limit as to whether women are equally an asset on the Battlefield or not. My only questions, which have no concise answer so far, are those in my immediate previous post?
