Anybody catch "Love My Rifle More Than You" author on Fresh Air yesterday?
Kayla Williams.

"Kayla Williams is a former U.S. Army soldier who served in the Middle East as an Arabic interpreter. She recounts her decision to enlist and her experiences during the Iraq war in a new memoir, Love My Rifle More Than You: Young and Female in the U.S. Army. Williams was a sergeant in a military intelligence company of the 101st Airborne Division."

Excellent interview. You can listen here:

1. Yes
she was VERY uncomfortable about taking part in an interrogation where she was to sexually humiliate Iraqis. She said that she felt it created terrorists.
