With a choice of watching Downton Abbey and this 2nd episode of Our Girl I decided to watch the latter.
If ever there was a case for women not to fight on the front line it was this.
It would not be too bad if Lacey Turner who plays Our Girl, was amongst other female soldiers, but she is alone in a company of men, and it is then that her female emotions come out, when she befriends a young Afghan girl, thus putting her not only her male colleagues lives at risk, but also her own.

I wonder how many of 'our brave girls' threw their hands up in frustration at the portrayal of a female on the front line?
Although most of us know that 'dramatic licence' has been taken, obviously there will be some people (like the OP) who will use it as a basis to bolster their argument that women should have limited roles in warfare.

So.... ( sorry Andy-Hughes couldn't resist )
I don't like any of these programmes that glorify and dramatise what goes on on the frontline no matter which battle zone it happens to be. I simply think they are wrong and present a wholly different view of what battle really is.
My wife and daughter watch it... then Downton.... hate Sunday evenings..!!
