Heroic female medic who ignored shrapnel embedded in her shoulder to save SEVEN soldiers during Taliban attack
I would let her perform triage on me anytime!

An heroic army medic treated seven injured comrades after a Taliban attack in Afghanistan despite being wounded with shrapnel herself, it emerged today.
Lance Corporal Sally Clarke, of 2 Rifles, ignored the searing pain caused by the shards embedded in her shoulder and back and set about treating the rest of her patrol.

That reminds me of that female A-10 pilot in the start of operation Iraqi freedom, got her plane hit by AA fire. Lost half a wing, the whole right tail assembly, right engine out, right fuel tank empty, hydrolic system out, her right leg was hit by shrapnel, right arm hit by same...
And she still flew it 40 miles back to her base and landed it in a textbook landing.
Women are just as capable as men in combat, I don't get why this country fights so hard to keep them out of the fight.

During the interviews with her and her squad/flightmates some of the real veterans were shocked she got it home like she did as wounded as she was. Yes the A-10 is a flying tank, but a **** poor pilot would have crashed it.
