Standing ovation yesterday for 🇨🇦 Canadian Chief of the defence staff, once commander of #NATO Mission Iraq (2019-2020), as she made the case for women in combat units and paid tribute to them after 39 years of career as a combat arms officer herself. At #Halifax Security Forum #HFXForum
Canada’s top military commander, Gen. Jennie Carigna:
"After 39 years of career as a combat arms officer and risking my life in many operations across the world, I can’t believe that in 2024, we still have to justify the contribution of women to their defense and to their service, in their country."
