Agreed. Hero has become quite relative. Relatively speaking then she is a hero I guess. She fought back and was captured and I'm sure endured some very nasty stuff.
I'd say she was brave and lucky.
Many here have lowered the bar since she is a woman. that is only part of the problem.
Why any country would willingly expose young women to this is beyond me...brave or not.
I guess any soldier who fires back is a hero...to a degree I guess. It's a bit vexing. When I grew up (as you), the benchmark for heroism was much much higher and alas heroes were more often killed than not.
