My sincere condolences to her Family and Friends
Now Daddy’s little girl, too, can come home in a body bag. Congratulations, Democrats.
Pray for America.
What's "indirect fire?"
My heart goes out to all the families of fallen soldiers. These are true americans like the rest of the men and women serving today making the ultimate sacrafice for their country. I applaud every soldier for their efforts to keep America free.

...still this lady gave her life for our country and I honor that.
Regardless of insurmountable female biological inadequacies for certain roles—roles that address life and death situations where male strength saves lives and female lack of it can't—the pawns usually die the most.
Political Correctness is a deadly fascist spin-off.
I called a “conservative” senator’s local office here in Texas to protest the Obama Admins plans to begin integrating women into the Infantry. The young “Republican” staffer could not get past the “equal rights” meme.
Combat is not about “rights.” Defending our country is not about “rights.” Gaining a spot in our combat units is not a “right.”
Equal right to have your body blown up?
Women in combat is not a sign of greatness. Doubly so, when less than 1% of our population is actually in combat units.
My sincere condolences to her Family and Friends
An Artillery wife, Mary Hays McCauly (better known as Molly Pitcher) shared the rigors of Valley Forge with her husband, William Hays. Her actions during the battle of Monmouth on June 28, 1778 became legendary. That day at Monmouth was as hot as Valley Forge was cold. Someone had to cool the hot guns and bathe parched throats with water.
Across that bullet-swept ground, a striped skirt fluttered. Mary Hays McCauly was earning her nickname “Molly Pitcher” by bringing pitcher after pitcher of cool spring water to the exhausted and thirsty men. She also tended to the wounded and once, heaving a crippled Continental soldier up on her strong young back, carried him out of reach of hard-charging Britishers. On her next trip with water, she found her artilleryman husband back with the guns again, replacing a casualty. While she watched, Hays fell wounded. The piece, its crew too depleted to serve it, was about to be withdrawn. Without hesitation, Molly stepped forward and took the rammer staff from her fallen husband’s hands. For the second time on an American battlefield, a woman manned a gun. (The first was Margaret Corbin during the defense of Fort Washington in 1776.) Resolutely, she stayed at her post in the face of heavy enemy fire, ably acting as a matross (gunner).
For her heroic role, General Washington himself issued her a warrant as a noncommissioned officer. Thereafter, she was widely hailed as “Sergeant Molly.” A flagstaff and cannon stand at her gravesite at Carlisle, Pennsylvania. A sculpture on the battle monument commemorates her courageous deed.

RIP.
She'll be lauded by the same bunch of feminazis who, not for a minute, wouldn't get anywhere near a recruitment center much less a combat zone.
She should be lauded by all patriotic Americans, but then one has to wonder what did her death serve to put her and other women into combat zones . . . so the libtard jackasses could try to find a GI Jane to crow about?
May she rest in peace, but it's too bad that she died serving a country that feels it's necessary to put women in combat.
RIP soldier, we honor your courage and service. May God comfort your grieving family, friends and comrades at arms.
Confused, so are celebrations in order? Let’s ask Ann Compton.
RIP soldier.
