Controversial Result From Women in Combat Poll

Advertisements

he Australian Defence Force announced that it was beginning to open up its most dangerous military jobs to women. This was great news, apart from the announcement being sullied shortly afterwards when the Australian press leaked a document drafted by ADF officials that listed 71 concerns of "extreme," "high" and "medium" importance as to why women shouldn't be allowed to apply for every military role.

Defence IQ ran a straw poll this week to find out what you thought about this issue. Currently, 7% of military roles are not open to women in Australia � while this looks set to change over the next 5 years we wanted to find out what you thought: Should women in the military be considered for any and all combat roles?
