Women of war, the war of women

Women of war, the war of women
: This is the war when women arrived, not just fighting side-by-side with men but becoming the most visible heroes. There is, of course, fight-to-the-last-bullet Pfc. Jessica Lynch. And I just watched a great CNN report about a brave pilot named “KC” whose plane took many hits; it is riddled with holes, big and small; she lost much of her control and debated whether to eject or struggle back to base. She made it back to base. And now she’s being interviewed: calm, cool (and, by the way, beautiful). At the end of the interview, the reporter tells her to tell us at home what “KC” stands for. With a proud grin, she says, “Killer chick.”
