I'll buy some of that, but I don't see why a 52 year old woman was sent to Afghanistan. Maybe that's just me.

She was in a construction unit, and it sounds like she was pretty good at it. Regardless of what you think about the war, she was helping people rebuild, and scumbags killed her for it. Save your anger for them.

No. She has been serving in the military for nearly two decades. And from the article, it sounds like she was a motivated individual who loved serving her country and most certainly wasn't some stereotypical 52 year old grandmother. She was not part of a combat element, she was part of a civil affairs group who has the job of dealing with the innocent Afghan people on a daily basis to help rebuild their war torn country. Because the military Army is stretched very thin. I corrected that for you. The military is most definitely not stretched thin, just the Army.
