True Heroes
I got in this discussion about heroism with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
frankwu. Frank said something about "pushbutton wars" including the current mess in Iraq. The war in Iraq is many things, but "pushbutton" it ain't.
Then, I stumble upon this post frombdunbar. It's about a female specialist, driving a recovery truck in Iraq. She's been in 4 IED explosions, sniped at, and wounded. The blogger meets her when she's being medivac'ed for cancer. Oh, and she's going through a divorce. Her complaint? She's leaving her unit 3 months early.
Edited 8/29/07: Apparently the story above about specialist Alison K. is largely fabricated. Read here for details.
