First Woman Casualty

As you say, the publicity machine rolls out for the first female to be
killed in action there, but please remember, it IS the media who seizes upon
these awful events. As the mother of a soldier who has been there I have
cried for each & every one of our dead, however they died, & I know that I'm
not alone in that. I have met with some of the families & seen their grief.
Male or female it makes no difference to any of us military families, the
pain is the same.
