If I could meet this woman, I'd be proud to hand her a Ruger Vaquero .45 I've got. Women like her are awesome :)

I believe I see some "gongs" in this young lady's future. Bless her for her grit and determination.

I agree with the article that she needs some decompression time and what they call "reflection" before she's sent back to the civilian side. This has got to be tough on her, and I hope that some experienced old hands will sit down with her and help her sort through her reactions and get her head straight before she has to deal with the publicity and all that junk, in addition to the trauma of seeing her buddies killed, being a prisoner, etc. etc. She's going to need all her courage from here on out. Thankfully her West Virginia heritage is in her favor.

Pretty, intelligent, courageous, and she can shoot when necessary! What a role model for American children!

AMEN!

I bet you just hate the stories of Molly Pitcher. Jesse served in basically the same capacity.

Too bad she probably only had the 9mm Beretta.

So basicly, our *women* in our *maintenance* corps are better soldiers than al-qaeda/republican guards.

The rest of the world needs to get a freaking clue that there is only one world power, and she wears U.S. green.

Even though it is the Washington Compost, this one is worth reading in full.

Sounds like this young lady is a full sized hero.

The announcement of the raid was delayed for more than an hour yesterday because some U.S. troops had remained on the ground longer than anticipated

And midway through that hour delay ABC, the AP, and MSNBC ignored the military's request to hold the story, and blabbed it over the airwaves.

What's best about this is that she is probably the norm for our PFC's. They are all heroes!

Ease up there, Diddle, I'm a former Jar head myself...no one knows Molly better than I do...but everyone is calling her a hero..she is NOT a hero...she is a survivor. The spec ops that went in to get her, and anyone else they hoped to find, were the heros. I have also spent my life after the Corps as a cop. I like female cops, but when the bar fight goes down, I don't want them as my back up...I want Joe and Rick and Bubba...sorry...no women in combat will always be my creed.

I salute PFC Lynch for her bravery. I've heard tell she wants to get back out there and get more RAQI scum. I wish her a speedy recovery.
