Army Social Scientist Attacked in Afghanistan
Here's a reminder that the social scientists who the Army has hired to serve in Iraq and Afghanistan as part of its Human Terrain program are serving in conditions of very real danger. Danger Room's Noah Shachtman reports today that one Human Terrain team member in Afghanistan, Paula Lloyd, has been flown to Brooke Army Medical Center in Texas after being set on fire in an apparent Taliban attack.
This is just the latest in a string of attacks on Human Terrain personnel, who have been hired to lend cultural expertise to Army units fighting overseas.
