WAS an American hero.Pilots need to maintain proficiency, so yeah... she flew on a weekly basis. TWICE a week, actually... in her own words, in her book... in a 20 year old bird, with an M60 machine gun hanging in the door.
She almost got shot down by an RPG on a run to Irbil, her bird got shot up on a run near Abu Gharib, and YES... she kept on flying- twice weekly.
I don't know what kind of crazy spin you're trying to impart on the history of the war, or whether you're with the Iraqi Insurgency, a Rooskie troll farm, or the enemy within... but it makes you look bad, man.
Duckworth is an American Hero.
Now she is a leftist and therefore the enemy.
Want an American hero try LTG Flynn, Jeff Beatty, Jim Webb, or the great Joe McCarthy.
