    Senator Duckworth lost her legs when a helicopter she was piloting had an accident. They loaded her up on a medivac, which started taking fire. She returned fire. True warrior.

        Where the hell was she coptering that the medivac would take fire?

        Iraq

        Was she deployed military or something?

        Army

        And then why the hell was the patient being transported even in a position where they could return fire and not strapped the fuck down to prevent her from bleeding out?

        According to action reports, she grabbed a rifle and returned fire as the medivac took off.
