We sometimes think that Israel is the center of the world, but it turns out that the issue of recruiting and sending them to battle is not a domestic issue at all, and the question of whether women should indeed be sent to cross-country battles.
A British army official attacked the official policy of the United Nations Military Forces in the Daily Star, which requires the placement of women fighting UN intervention forces, claiming that "this is a frivolous political decision resulting from only political correctness." The officer referred to the international entanglement in Mali, where the central government is not functioning. The military delivery forces to the country, where many ISIS forces are located, include 250 soldiers, of whom 15 percent are women.
"The reality in Mali has changed negatively since the government decided to participate in sending troops to the country in July. I have no personal problem with the UN policy in general, but this political correctness of sending women anyway and not the one that fits is a mess."
He made it clear that the British Army would not obey the UN demand. "We will send fighters and combatants to the Malian intervention force only by capabilities and not by gender. The country has become a global hotbed of jihad and terrorists from Syria and elsewhere are pouring into it. Our deployment within the UN forces in the country will not be easy at all but very challenging. "
Since the start of international involvement in the country in 2013, 41 elite fighters of the French army have been killed. Now the United Kingdom will also send intervention forces to the country to help restore order to Mali.
