“Don’t tell me that a woman who volunteers for battlefield medic duty is weak, mentally or physically. Don’t tell me that she’s not a warrior when she’s face to face with Death every single day on a sordid repeat cycle, when she can’t wash the stench of gangrene from her clothes, when she’s the one dragging corpses out to a pit because all the men are too busy dying in their cots or in the trenches.

Don’t tell me that woman isn’t capable of saving the world. She is. One person at a time.”
