I don't have a problem with women in the service, I have an extreme problem with women anywhere near the front lines or back lines because the Jessica situation is what follows. This includes women in the cockpits of planes that fly in the war zone, unfortunately, the box is open and it will be tough to close it. This is bad national policy IMHO. I appreciate what Jessica has gone through and what she will yet experience because of her injuries, but it should never have happened to a young woman soldier.

I don't want the girls out there because I think situations like this are much tougher on morale than when the guys get captured. Among other reasons.

That said, if this woman, this supply clerk truly started firing her weaponand continued to kill the enemy as all around her were dying and being taken captured, tried to fight to the death until running out of ammunition, then I think she should be put up for, (and probably will get) the Congressional Medal of Honor. She is now very much my hero.

I say she'll probably get it because the feminists in Congress are probably licking their chops over getting their first (I assume) female CMOH winner. But it sounds like she may deserve it.
