She is the type of person, you want watching your back and your blind side.

Excellent job!
Now, how long before the Dems start painting her as a baby killer and find some way to discredit her and demand she give back her Silver Star?
Oh, that's right...it'll happen right here with the "women don't belong in combat" minions, LOL! ;)

I agree she is well deserving of the award. You, however are deserving of the poor taste award of the day.
To compare those of us here who believe there are legitimate reasons to try and minimize women serving actively in combat and combate support positions with the liberal anti-war crowd who denigrate our fine military is akin to the the outrageous statements we have heard from Democrat quarters recently.
Let's give Sgt Hester the honor she is due and save the tacky insults for another thread.

... Women don't belong in combat.
Show this to all the nah sayers that are trying to change the makeup of the US Army during a war.There's nothing extraordinarily special about what she did to merit that award. She did what all soldiers are expected to do when attacked, and there are many men who are doing far greater on a daily basis that are not getting such accolades. I'm glad she responded, but it says absolutely nothing about women in combat. Her actions are hype being putting out femigon propagandist -it's way out of proportion to what occurred.

I guess you missed my go-round last week with a nut on another thread. Now, HE was insulting, when compared to what I posted.
Sorry if I upset you, one Vet to another. (ODS, '90-'92.) ;)

To: 68skylark
I agree. She sounds like a great NCO -- someone I'd be really proud to serve with. Ditto on that.
