I don't believe in PC-ized "soft " standards for women in combat. I think women should be able to serve, though way way way far from the front lines.

I think women have a place in the military more like before the feminazis cowed the Defense Department in the 70s.
I don't like women in the academies (I've seen firsthand the damage at VMI), on ships (where the problems are well known) or in risk areas of combat.
None of my views diminish my joy that this young lady survived. Whether she is a hero or not...I don't know. She is damn tuff apparently and very very lucky.
