Could be but a number of her male counterparts on that ill-fated night reported their M-16's jamming also.

Hard to believe, but.... In any case, they weren't prepared to fight it seems. Since they weren't on the front lines they may have neglected to take care of their equipment. Tough call.

Most notorious is Pfc. Patrick Miller who Won a Silver Star for his actions during the ambush and while being held captive. He reported his weapon jammed and he had to load rounds one at a time to fire back at the Iraqis. Killed a number of them too.
