“You seem to handle a weapon better even than Miss USA?…”
2008 July 12
The BBC reports:
A female soldier who once fought off a suspected Iraqi insurgent has won a place in the final of Miss England.
Katrina Hodge, 21, will participate in the contest in July, having already won the Miss Tunbridge Wells crown.
L/Cpl Hodge was nicknamed Combat Barbie in 2005 after being given a bravery commendation for saving the lives of members of her regiment in Iraq…
Whether she wins or not, one suspects L/Cpl Hodge . . .
. . . will be the one likely to have the most interesting responses to the career question, as well as how to bring peace to the world.
