Look, the Jessica Lynch thing failed because even though they tried to hold her up as a hero(heroine), they had to drop her like a hot potato when she testified that she had been raped multiple times by the religion of peace soldiers. They knew that that wouldnt fly.
So, they need some horribly, critically wounded (better yet . . . killed) female, preferably a he/she that they can build a legend around.
I like Rush Limbaugh’s idea
The All-American First Cavalry Amazon Battalion- have the certain kinds of women be housed at the same place, the same time over a period of time and therefore we would have a combat-ready group of women on PMS whenever we needed ‘em.
