Three cheers for Army Spc. Monica Lin Brown!
Can you imagine that this woman might have to “salute” that conniving witch ?
There's a great one in Michael Yon's Dispatches
LJ woman to receive Silver Star
True; but Michael doesn’t write for the Associated Piss !!
well done darlin!
“Brown graduated from high school a charter school when she was 15 and saw the military as a way to get the education shed always wanted for free, her grandmother said.”
wow!
IMO, this brave soldier makes 99% of our politicians in DC and elsewhere look worthless which they are.
Great job, but she keeps saying “we” and “they” which implies that other soldiers performed just as well and should be up for a medal, also.
Smart women and brave. I hope this does not lead to any calls for registering females though.
No, the assignment of women into brigade level combat teams has resulted in more women soldiers taking part in close quarters combat. There were no women assigned at this level during Vietnam or Korea because there was no shortage of men to fill the ranks. If we see a war like Korea or Vietnam or World War II again we will (I assume) see a return of the draft and again have all the men we need to fill the ranks.
That’s because she’s a good leader. Her leadership motivated the other troops to get those wounded out of the firezone, and into basic treatment and evac to care. That she kept her cool with hell in the background speaks volumes to her grit and integrity. As the leader, she may get those well deserved kudos, but she recognises that teamwork is the winner, and so includes her comrades in that recognition.
Spc. Brown has a lot to be proud of, as we are of her.
It won’t. The men in charge wouldn’t buy into it
is she wearing a wedding ring?
Texas is proud of you, Monica Lin Brown.
Perhaps, but what if there is not a man in charge? What if Hillary or Obama is...or worse yet, Ruth Bader decides to insert herself into the decision.
thanks for posting that, love her style of writing. She have a blog somewhere?
That’s been floating around for ten or twenty years.
Oops..yeah noticed something was odd. Did a search on one of the sentences and got thousands of hits. That 'letter home' was posted on some webpages dating back to 2002. my bad....
