Hopefully an American Legendary reason to keep women out of combat.

I believe I see some "gongs" in this young lady's future. Bless her for her grit and determination.

I agree with the article that she needs some decompression time and what they call "reflection" before she's sent back to the civilian side. This has got to be tough on her, and I hope that some experienced old hands will sit down with her and help her sort through her reactions and get her head straight before she has to deal with the publicity and all that junk, in addition to the trauma of seeing her buddies killed, being a prisoner, etc. etc. She's going to need all her courage from here on out. Thankfully her West Virginia heritage is in her favor.

I certainly wouldn't go THAT far, but a Silver Star is certainly in order if these events took place as described.

I agree. I think there's now a new meaning of the verb, "to lynch."
