Now blowing people away with rockets from your chopper is 'cool'. Cowardly, indiscriminate killing is now 'cool'.
Because we're on the 'side of good'. Whatever that means. I see no good in this.
If only she saw the mess she left behind.

PS: BUT, if we are going to use woman in combat etc---I hope they all appear as the one in the article.... determined and looking good while doing it..... (personal thought there---)
So it says in the article that they saw people running in the trees and they were confirmed as Taliban. How exactly? Did they have some kind of badge saying Taliban?

Lol. Was that meant to be logical in any possible way?
Or was it just an excuse to throw some oddly incoherent stereotype in there?

Now, after reading this I thought... Damm.... you go girl. Then I got to thinking.... Sad.... our childrens mothers-our societies glue...MOMS etc... I don't want them killing or in war etc.

Couldnt that argument be made the same for any pilot doing the same job she is?
Why does her gender make what she is doing any different from what males doing the same job are doing?

I have seen some horrific videos of Apache pilots shooting at people in bushes with anti-tank rounds. One vision of a teenager being blow to bits just haunts me. It seems so arrogant to use such expensive and powerful technology to shoot one boy. I'm sure all the videos have been taken down by my oppressive goverment. I wonder if any of them were her's? Women will suffer more than men from the guilt of being so evil in combat. Why do I have to pay for the expensive weapons used on mischevious Iraqi boys? How can a woman, who is supposed to give life, invade and kill with such enthusiasm? Why can't she get out of her machine and be more selective about who she kills?

She also explained that she used to be a servicewoman and she also was in a prolonged stay in a foreign war theater.
My thoughts after reading the article you linked was that the 8,5 tonnes air-vehicle wielding lady pictured in the article might end up experiencing the same depression possibly after a 5 years period in her life. The battlefield is not for women. Support and medical is another matter.

Go for a ride through the town/city. Find mostly women drivers that are about to be parking their vehicles. Pay close attention.
