So, good, I'm glad she fought back. But she's no heroine to me. She's a little girl that shouldn't have been there

Damn guy your manhood isn't at stake here. She had 2 choices when they were attacked, she could have been a “little girl" and curl up into a little ball, or she could be a soldier and use her M16. I agree that women in combat is a bad idea and the fact that she was a blond haired female made her a prime target for capture/exploitation does not change the fact that her actions were far from "little girl" in nature.

You have made a false assumption--I'm a female. Like I said, I am very glad that she fought back. But why does that make her a heroine? She only did what anyone would do, knowing the reputation of the Iraqis for how they treat POWs.

Women in the military are more a hinderance than a help.
