I recently read an article written by a medium ranking female soldier in the army, discussing the hardships she had faced but, more importantly, the physical toll long term deployment had taken, and was taking, on her body.

Female soldiers are so relatively new in combat that there are no long term studies or research on the topic of it's physical effects, and based on her experience, she believed that the military needed to be more hesitant in promoting women to hard wearing, front line roles in the name of equality until more information about it's long term effects was ascertained
