Exploitation of female soldiers during the Afghanistan war.
In a report, the Informed Comment website pointed out the unethical exploitation of female soldiers by the American army during the war in Afghanistan.
In this report, the way the US Army used women in secret combat missions during the 20-year-long war in Afghanistan has been examined and scrutinized.
In this report, it is stated that in 2011, the US Army has extensively trained units consisting of women, in order to use them in combat missions alongside men. This issue occurred in a situation where the direct use of women in combat missions was prohibited at that time.
Therefore, according to the report, the American army has asked women in their training to use their inherent characteristics to seduce Afghan men in order to gather intelligence and decisive data from them.
Therefore, even though the issue of gender was considered as a negative factor in attracting women to the combat and operational units of the US Army, but the instrumental view of the US Army towards women in order to advance its military goals in the war in Afghanistan changed this concept in general.
Therefore, American military commanders realized that female soldiers can access more useful and deeper information than male soldiers in operations.
According to this report, the female soldiers of the American army, invisibly and away from the public opinion, have played a fundamental role in collecting intelligence information and also calming down the victims of the attacks of the American special forces.
It should be noted that the American army decided to withdraw from Afghanistan in 2021 after 20 years of war. In the two decades of the American military presence in Afghanistan, numerous human tragedies and massacres occurred by American soldiers, which were also criticized by human rights groups.
