No need to be rude.

I was in the TOC* at the time. Women weren’t allowed to hold a combat MOS when I was in the Army, though plenty of us died, anyway. I’ve never claimed to be in direct combat; I was always in a Support Battalion (providing ‘Bullets, Beans and Gasoline’ to the front lines; which is also a ‘good’ way to die via IED) and later that Battalion’s Brigade, but that didn’t mean we weren’t in the field. In the mud. In the rain. In the snow. In foxholes. Getting shot at. ;)

Taking out the TOC would be a total WIN for the enemy.

Good job ...I respect your service! I was not in combat but rather in a trip-wire situation behind Berlin Wall. (Good for VFW membership.) Never wounded but did suffer a number of 3rd degree hangovers!😎
