Yes, but you had a connection with that person. US Navy, in-country is a very small circle - a kind of brotherhood. You could say he was not a “stranger.” You immediately knew where he belonged, and his situation. You naturally did the right thing.
On reflection, maybe this woman saw the connection she had with the man, and grasped his background, and his situation.
That’s a good way to put it.
Besides the generosity of her actions, I have no idea what she looks like, but...I liked her eyes and what part of her face I saw, and I have always thought I could tell something about people from just that..in the right circumstances.
If that guy has any sense, he will find some way to meet her again, straighten up himself, and offer to repay her with a dinner and go from there.
Become a made man due to the generosity of a stranger. There was something about her that just made me think, no matter what she looks like, she is worth it!
I think she did; because he was Australian.
