Excerpt from the BBC link above;

L/Cpl Hodge was nicknamed Combat Barbie in 2005 after being given a bravery commendation for saving the lives of members of her regiment in Iraq.

They were held at gunpoint when their vehicle overturned but L/Cpl Hodge punched the gunman and took his rifles.

She said: "I was in complete shock at first. The force of the accident caused our vehicle to roll over three times and threw us off guard.

"As I came round, the Iraqi suspect was standing over us with the rifles. I knew if I didn't act fast then our lives would be in danger.

"I punched him and the force startled him enough for me to retrieve the rifles from him."

Miss Hodge, a military clerk with The Adjutant General's Corps, will go on to appear at Miss World 2008 if she wins the English title.

I won’t be surprised if she’s charged with a hate crime
upon her return to England-for punching a Muslim!

Wow, she has a whole new angle on that "I Want to Work for World Peace" thing, doesn't she?

Isn't there something slightly sacrilegious about that Cross of St. George?

For goodness sake! Cut her some slack... A military hero babe is wearing the flag of England on her underwear... It's neither blasphemous nor unpatriotic or anything what naggers want to interpret.

What an awesome woman!
