On this week's episode of Truth About War, we joined by Rachel Washburn, a former Army Intelligence Officer who is truly a pioneer for women in the military. It may be strange to call a young woman in her early thirties a pioneer, but that is how fast women's roles in the Armed Forces have been changing. Tune in to hear Rachel's story.

Episode 7: Rachel Washburn

She went from performing in front of thousands of cheering fans in NFL stadiums, to executing one of the most vital missions in the Global War on Terror. Rachel Washburn was a Philadelphia Eagles cheerleader before commissioning as a 2nd lieutenant in the Army. Her first assignment in the Army was to a Cultural Support Team (CST) in Afghanistan - a groundbreaking concept where women were embedded with Special Operations units in order to enable and help form enduring relationships with the local populace, specifically with village women, in support of counterinsurgency operations. Rachel shares with us her rewarding, and often dangerous, experience working as an integral part of a CST in combat, and the challenges she and her team faced breaking new ground for the military and working against a virtually invisible enemy.
