The Brave Women of the Gulf Wars: Operation Desert Storm and Operation Iraqi Freedom (Women at War) Library Binding – March 18, 2006

This book is a great read.S.L. when you first corrected me my initial reaction, besides becoming nauseous, was to buy you a case of cuttysark and send it to you with a note of apology.Huddleston, I'm sorry you're looking at doing a 5th tour, that's a burden that no single person should have to carry. I can only imagine the strain you're many deployments has placed on you're relationships with you're loved ones. As for my last comment which offended you, I take those hurtful words back, I wrote them after I had already apologized profusely, done all in my power to rectify the mistake I had made and you kept attacking me in a personal way. I think you aimed the words you wrote, hoping to hit a raw nerve and I can tell you that you succeeded. I 'd also like to say that I believe women do have a place in the military, I'm also aware that there are female soldiers who are every bit as good as any of their male counterparts, although I'm told most of these females are officers. I also respect, and thank you for you're service to our country. I wish both you and S.L. could speak to my closest of friends who are Iraq war veterans and they would testify to what a good guy I really am. I wish you could speak to a female Marine I consider a friend who would say the same. Any way I hope you and S.L. are both kept safe during you're future deployments. God's speed and take care.

I thought this book was good, as a woman in today's military I like to read about what my predecessors had to go through. I'm glad I'm able to serve in the military and I never expect to be treated better than the men I serve with.
