ONE OF THE arguments that’s always been raised against women in combat has been that men will drop everything to save a woman on his team if they’re in distress, risking their own lives to help them.

True. But anyone who has been in combat knows that’s true of anyone on the team, male as well as female. Real warriors fight for each other. They save each other. That’s why they’re there. Most soldiers will tell you that once they get into battle, they’re not really fighting for the flag or their country—when the bullets are flying, those are abstractions that you don’t have time to think about. What you do think about—or rather feel, since there’s not too much time to think about anything—is saving your buddy, your fellow soldier.

If the person in the cockpit was anybody on my team, from Doc to Hiccup to Shotgun, from Junior to Mongoose—from plank holders to newbie nugget cannon fodder—I would have dove in to rescue them regardless. The fact that Trace had more curves than most of the rest of the people on my team made zero difference.

I’m the first to agree that if a woman can’t pull her weight, can’t kick her quota of butt, then she’s got no place on the team. But that goes for a man as well. The standards don’t change. You have to be one mean mother, willing to bite the head off of your enemy, chew, digest, and bite some more, if you want to run with Rogue. Not too many women can do that—but not too many guys can either.

Trace could bite with the best of them. And I was damn well going to save her ass from that Russian death trap.
