I agree and disagree. I am proud of her for doing something worthwhile.
I utterly respect the military, police, and firemen for the jobs that they do and for putting their lives on the line. But in the same respect, they train and are ready for situations that arise. She's a skinny 24 year old, I can't even think about how she/we would react if a situation went south.
Would anybody here honestly pack up and go there to help establish democracy without any guarantee of military aid/protection?
And while worthy, the trip will also give her an essential boost on her resume. I just think that the risks outweigh the rewards in this case.
