Monica Lin Brown saved the lives of fellow soldiers after a roadside bomb tore through a convoy of Humvees in the eastern Paktia province in April 2007, the military said. After the explosion, which wounded five soldiers in her unit, Brown ran through insurgent gunfire and used her body to shield wounded comrades as mortars fell less than 100 yards away, the military said." Don't get me wrong, I don't want women to be drafted or forced into a combat position. But if some want to go for it, I wouldn't stop them. They're patriots. Quoting: Don'tBeAfraid If we are sending women to the front lines then are country doesn't need to be defended.
