Tell me how a female Lynch's size (5-foot-0 and 105 lbs) is going to pull anyone's bacon anywhere.

In Honduras in 1985, a 5'3" 110lb female flight surgeon pulled me from a downed huey and dragged/carried me 200 meters to the rescue helo. I'm 5'9" and at that time weighed 180, and had 40 lbs of gear strapped on. She also treated the severely injured aircraft commander in flight. I nominated her for the Air Medal, which she received.

Good for her, glad you made it. I bet it took her a lot longer than it would have a guy your own size.

When size and strength and speed matter, they matter, or people die.
