42. She is a hero, because the idiots were going to assign her...
Edited on Sun Apr-20-08 12:49 PM by Stuart G
to something that was actually counter-productive. If they had said, "Here is some training, this is what you are going to do."
.. That is another thing. The bosses didn't care what happened to her, or the nature of her mission..that is why she is a hero.


Her words from the link:
"They were going to have me negotiate money transactions with Iraqi warlords. A woman of Jewish and East Asian descent to try to talk to men about money in a country where women aren't always allowed to handle money," Weiner says.

Weiner's record and fitness reports before she was called up to IA duty indicate anything but a shrinking violet. She had earned two overseas service ribbons, commendation and achievement medals and was part of a Meritorious Unit Commendation."
