Lets not forget....

Thats a movie I'll go see!!

I just hope they don't ignore the rest of her team- the ones who fought just as hard and died either in the battle or after...

Interesting. Most of the 'in principle' objections to women in the military are obviated by her heroism. She fought like a barbarian, survived wounds just as gruesome as any man and gave just as much as she got (in fact, it sounds like more than one or two Iraqi boys did not survive her efforts!)

The physical weight-humping difference does remain, but I see no reason why women should be excluded from combat in all roles.

Anyway, women like her are what we should show our daughters.
