Quick Hit: Girl Sailor
Check out these first-person monologues called "Forward Deployed" by a female soldier in Iraq. As we face this fifth year anniversary, I think it's important that we keep recentering the voices of those who are there and those who are, well, feminist. I never claimed to be impartial.
Thanks to Girl with Pen for the rec.

Good stuff, interesting read. My wife is a girl sailor, though you can call her Chief, and has had a lot of the same experiences either in Iraq or in Bahrain/Dubai before the war started as well as Doha during the war. Wish more of this stuff would come out, really is a fascinating perspective.
Just don't call the Ensign a "soldier." Both sailors and soldiers will take offense. :-)
