.."designed to attach women to existing special ops units with the express purpose of relating more effectively to local women"..
total b.s. - no wonder the US hasn't won a war since the 1940s !
I can't speak for the others but my post wasn't disrespectful in the least, it asked a legitimate question. The pic looks posed to me, but I might be wrong.Why jump straight to all this disrespect? The article clearly states that she is an intelligence officer...not infantry, special forces or otherwise. The author may have attempted to use some 'impressive' language like 'operator'...but you know she didn't right the article herself right? They aren't even tying to make her out to be the next Sgt. York or anything. By all accounts she is serving her country admirably in a combat zone which is more than most have done (including myself). Props to her...she deserves our thanks.
Well said, thanks.Why jump straight to all this disrespect? The article clearly states that she is an intelligence officer...not infantry, special forces or otherwise.

Definitely wasn't disrespect on my part, just a clarification of facts.

I am sure it is not intentional on your part but both of your "legitimate" questions are off-topic, unnecessary and disrespectful. There is an appropriate time and place for everything. All this was about is offering a simple ataboy and a thank you that are deserved. Regardless of whether or not it is intentional...to pollute that with unnecessary questions about the nature of her service, while it is not the end of the world, it is disrespectful.
I'd let her question me with extreme prejudice. If you know what I mean.
- I was really digging the article up til the very end where she said she wants to stay in to address gender equality.
