I don't rightly recall, but I may have mentioned that one of the Weekend Pundit nieces is in the United States Army and presently deployed to Afghanistan.
I recently received an e-mail from her by way of my sister-in-law and my lovely missus which points to a WaPo piece about her unit and the training she and the others went through to prepare for their tour of duty. The article covers the specialized training and evaluation these troops went through in order to qualify for one of these special units. Those who made it through are some tough cookies.
My niece appears in a number of pictures in the accompanying photo gallery, but I am not going to reveal her name.
We've always thought she was special, and this and her present duty post certainly prove it without a doubt.
