Take her politics aside.....
Is it fair that those who no nothing about serving in the military, question here service and accuse her of not being a combat veteran. Last I checked getting into a fire fight was not a requirement. CIB and CAB exist for that. This equal to telling all all vets that there not real vets unless they have purple hearts.

Is this a sexist case of "only her hairdresser knows for sure"? Or one of those perceptual inductions like the Bronze Star is awarded only to heroes? More soldiers have been in combat zones drawing combat/hazardous duty/hostile fire pay than were ever on the actual firing line. She did her duty.
