to the point where they took them a couple days to stabilize her. She has some severe allergies to a variety of things, but especially almonds and peanuts, where she has anaphylactic reaction to it. And she also is very asthmatic. So she has an inhaler for daily use and for emergency use. And like I said, she's been hospitalized, I think, two or three times for exposure to something.

We don't know necessarily what triggers it every time, but she gets hospitalized for it. She'll get a reaction where she's almost like drowning because she can't expel the air from her lungs. It sounds like she's puffing. Is that from the... I have no idea. It could be from... I guess that's possible.

Yeah, from the ammonium nitrate. Actually, I never even considered that, but the rangers have had lung problems from that, so that makes perfect sense. I never even put two and two together. Regardless, I think if you reflect on how many times her life was this close to death, it's just staggering. Because she's got a leg wound here from shrapnel, and she's got some more shrapnel down her leg.

But six inches higher on a baby, that's this far and you bleed out. She's got a skull fracture that if it's any deeper, she's dead. She's got a little bit to the left with a KG round, and you're done. even with the Afghan partner force. Like if these guys weren't committed to protecting innocence, she'd be dead.

Like, honestly, if she didn't get – I am not confident if she had gone through some of the medical emergencies she's had in the United States that she'd have survived if she'd remained in Afghanistan. And then, I mean, I think the elephant in the room is with the Taliban and can charge after 2021, what type of life is that for a little girl? You don't go to school. You don't go outside.

You know, you get to marry who you want. None of those things can happen for her. So we're so thankful for her. for the Americans who have saved her life at those points and for the ones who got her out of Afghanistan. And we'll get into that a little later in the story, but... How does she interact today?

And I think that a lot of GWAT vets could close their eyes right now and see a face of a kid or a person, a vulnerable person, and caught up in a crazy circumstance of war that they wanted to help, tried to help, couldn't help. Or maybe some who did. But I've had so many, like, grown colonels crying in my office, like, when I'm telling this story.
