Maj Gen Gale Pollock, a trailblazer for women in the US army reflects on her 36-year-career.

We meet Maj Gen Gale Pollock, who helped break the glass ceiling in the US Army. Then, the story of 'Ashley’s War'. And, the Yellowstone firing range that is catering to Chinese tourists. Plus, the next female MacGyver, a bagel renaissance in Lithuania, and the rise of the Filipino-American DJ.
