Don't mess with hillbilly girls, they can be ORNERY.
And it's amazing how the keyboard commandos are the first to start trashing her.

I watched several interviews that her family gave, and after seeing her dad, then her brother, and her friends at different times speak of her, I can believe every word of this article. Her dad said she was a country girl who grew up in the hills and he knew all along she could take care of herself. She may be battered, but I think she will be ok.

I'll tell you one thing, some FReepers have no tact and absolutely no sense of timing. It doesn't matter how good the news, or how heroic the deed, but somebody just has to pee in the pool.

Does it occur to your bimbo brain that we don't want to inadvertantly give away operational details of our SpecOps team? I don't think much occurs to someone with a screen name of "Bimbo.'

Excuse me for trying to be rational here, but what does that mean, specifically? Out of all the media available, the Post is among the most socialist. You
know the socialist media are rabid for women in combat; it's a major point in the socialist cause.
Why do you buy the story from this cryptic statement? What were the monitored communications and exactly what did they say? What does it mean "Iraqi sources in whose reliability has yet to be assessed"?
This lady should be honored for her support service, in spite of her being placed much too close to the front lines. But this kind of bloviation? From this source, with all the potential benefits for so many feminist causes?
I'll be willing to compliment her on her resolve and courage under pressure, but to go any further I'll need to see these communications first. I'll sure as hell not take the raw word of the Washington Post.

This young women grew up in rural West Virginia, she has an older sibling, a brother. This girl is a tough little cookie according to her dad ... said her brother always gave her a hard time, which probably led to her feisty nature. Another fact, West Virginia, on a per capita basis had the highest casualty rate of any state in the Union during Vietnam. These people grow up hunting, fishing and telling stories of their military prowess.
