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.

I agree with you and I think that is happening now. I heard one former military intelligence say that that was probably the reason she was flown to Germany. They have a psychological unit there. They don't usually fly those planes with only one passenger.
