Just a couple of months ago, it became possible for women to take up any role in the British army.<\/p>\n

Now SAS Who Dares Win has returned to our screens with a special new edition. It puts 25 ordinary men

\nstrength and endurance on display is remarkable to most of us, but it’s just another day at work for
\nmany men – and now women – in uniform.<\/p>\n

Ant Middleton is really giving it to the contestants. Will the civies be able to power through or will the

We are waiting to see how the women on the show will fare. Will they be able to stomach the SAS way?<\/p>\n
