Oh please, how exactly was she groomed? As if a 17 y/o girl would be that oblivious as to what she was getting herself into. Get real.
Plenty of 17 year olds have served in the US Military. And then there is David Farragut. Farragut was 11 years old when, during the War of 1812, he was given the assignment to bring a ship captured by the Essex safely to port. He was wounded and captured while serving on the Essex during the engagement at Valparaíso Bay, Chile, against the British on March 28, 1814.
Guess he was groomed./s
