Nobody even knows what really happened,
So because of that she shouldn't be believed. I could care less about any political overtones or how it affects anybody's agenda. Her story is an individual story.
I am getting the hint that some think her story should be pooh-poohed or slapped down regardless of what it is because it upsets an agenda. Her story is judged on its overall political effect.
Sorry, not going down that Democratic path. Her story is what it is.

The only "Democrat" path this story is going down is the one that the Democrats paved by forcing onto the military the politically correct but dangerous and stupid policy that women should be able to serve near combat zones.
To me, this is an issue I feel strongly about, because of my connections to and my high respect for the military.
I know that women are a hinderance in the military. They are coddled, treated different, and allowed more excuses than men are. They even get a break when it comes to their hair length.
And so I will not compromise my values by flinging accolades at a person that in my view didn't belong on the battlefield to begin with.
