Here we go with the race card. It's coming! First of all, women should NOT be anywhere near combat zones unless they're in a medical detachment. What in the world was Dubya thinking?
Second of all, this young lady is RIGHT in that she's not getting the super-star treatment that the young lady from WV is getting. The feminists have glommed on to their young/white/cute(?) star who apparently did nothing more heroic than to fall under a flipped-over jeep, was captured, and who was then given ultra-special medals of honor (medals denied to others who HAVE done heroics) because of her "marketability." I'm sure Jessica went thru a personal hell (although they say she doesn't remember anything), but this other young lady has a valid complaint. But I hope we don't have to see J Jackson and A Sharpton's fat faces poking around.

I can tell you that he is not a happy camper. He said that there have been 3 females from his unit sent home due to pregnancy.

Vegas gives key to the city to ex-POW Shoshana Johnson
Army Specialist Shoshana Johnson doesn't think of herself as a hero, despite receiving the Bronze Star, the Purple Heart and the Prisoner of War Medal.
She says, when her 3-year-old daughter grows up, the word heroic will not be used to describe how she survived an ambush near Nasiriyah and weeks spent in Iraqi captivity. Instead, she's going to tell her,"Her mom's a soldier who came home by the grace of God to watch her grow up."
