How sad that so many want to diminish her service to her country.

She volunteered.

Do I think women should serve in the armed forces, NO.

That does not take away from her military service.

AMEN OldFriend.

While I'm not opposed to women serving, albeit not in front line combat roles, They are serving, and they deserve to be honored when they put their behinds on the line for US!

Jessica was in a maintence unit, not combat.

This young Lady has gone through something many in this country can only distantly imagine.
