At this point in the series, Shannon and Daria have the perfect guest to help put in perspective the "hot potato" position women serving in Iraq and Afghanistan found themselves in. Helping us understand the political resistance back home –including Congress’s inability to openly acknowledge what women in the Army and Marines were being asked to do – is retired Navy Captain Lory Manning, a policy expert on laws governing women’s participation in the US military. Learn what happened when one congressman attempted to slip language into a bill that would have further restricted women’s roles.
