"How do we know that she fired "her weapon at the enemy?"

Now you're just being silly. That's what soldiers do when under fire. They fire back. Absent any evidence to the contrary, the assumption is that a US soldier fired at the enemy? Her injuries also indicate that she was fired upon. Are you so callous as to imply that this soldier fired at something else?

As if he thinks I am so hapless that if a burglar broke into my house I would start wildy shooting the dog.

Self defense and survival are not male-only instincts... and this gal had both instinct and training behind her.

We know damn well that no one would be assuming a man couldn't even figure out which direction the bullet comes out of the gun. ALS's demand that we be objective rings a bit thin... His assumptions are nowhere near objective.

Her injuries also indicate that she was fired upon.

What evidence do you have that proves that her wounds were received at the time of her capture and not after her capture?
