Yes, I agree she needs to be propping up a doorway, waiting for her soldier boy to come home. Submerging women in combat is just sick, and evidence that ideology has driven out someone's humanity.

The CO sent the 3rd Platoon to escort the remaining convoy to the fire support base.
The remaining 2 platoons went into a column..my tank was lead vehicle. We were on a elevated dirt road, entering a small town..there were no people. On the radio told 2nd Platoon leader we might be going into another ambush. I was a 19 year old SGT..11E40.
Anyway was told to halt...wait. ..”the LT called and asked my recommendation..I said lets get off this road..go right..into the woods..then get on line sweep left” Was told to “wait”.
The order came to do as I recommended. Traversed right..and the 2 platoons went into hell.
B Troop arrived several hours later.
Do not know what would have happened if we continued down the road.
The CO was killed, he was a West Point Grad, just made Captain..he was 24.
