OK, here we go. (sheesh).

You made the assertion that she may be the first hero of the war. Your assertion caries the burden of proof or, at least, the burden of some (any) evidence to make it something more than just a gratuitous assertion.

I made the claim that your assertion was unlikely, which still leaves the burden of proof (thus far unprovided) on you. But I will indulge the lack of rationality ou call for in this matter.

There have been literally thousands of contacts with hostile enemy forces. The great likelihood is that at least one of those thousands of contacts involved some heroism on the part of coalition forces. And don't forget the Black Watch forces who inserted themselves between the innocent Iraqi civilians and those Saddam loyalists who were murdering them. That, by any sane measure, was a heroic act.

Criminy! Calling on me to prove your gratuitous assertion untrue is beyond the pale.
