As a platoon commander there, she oversaw about 20 female troops attached to infantry and Special Operations units ever led in my career. When you have elite teams where the level of discipline is just so high, I really don’t think that’s going to be a problem," Farrell said. "Those Special Operations soldiers and Marines who are over there, they are there for the mission. They’re not in Afghanistan to get married."
