KABUL four decades ago.
In an exclusive interview with Pajhwok Afghan News, a female general who has been serving for more than 40 years as a military doctor in Sardar Mohammad Daud Hospital, Brig. Gen. Razia Rahimi, the director of nursing for the Afghan Office of the Surgeon General, said the decades of war pushed the country backward mainly because women in uniform were disrespected.
Four decades ago, she recalled, more value would be given to professions because there had been no war in the country . . .
