Believe since she went apparently down in hand to hand combat after firing all her ammo and sustained very serious wounds ... I predict this Hero will be awarded the Bronze Star and a Purple Heart.
Bet she will get a big hug and a kiss from President Bush, too.
Freepers ... Feel free to flame away. I wear colorful asbestos shorts.
Will the president be kissing and hugging the guys, too? :)
The actions of this soldier just goes to prove what I've been saying all along, based on over 20 years commissioned service in the Navy and the Navy Reserve. The overwhelming majority of the women officers and enlisted that I had the pleasure of serving with were motivated, dedicated, driven, highly competent individuals who were capable of holding their own when their job performance was measured against their male counterparts. I truly believe that this woman behaved in a manner which reflects nothing but credit to the Army, and that most of her female peers would have acted no differently under similar circumstances.
