It's not like she volunteered to defend her country and laid down her life for her family, friends, neighbors, and fellow citizens like so many other heros (and heroines) near her age. She doesn't have that character. She should have stayed out of the country and moved to Iran where her coming out would demonstrate courage.
She's an American citizen. Why should she "stay out of the country"?
You apparently have forgotten why you were in the service: to protect American citizens, even those with whom you disagree.
