Break it down into as many parts as you like....If a young woman is killed, as was the case with the young officer, the observation post was an obvious target for the enemy....this makes it the front line.
Don't come back with the obvious, women are not employed on the front line, been covered in previous arguements.
The Officer was placed in a quite legitimate job behind enemy lines, but, in the circumstances she lost her life.
Let's have the comment's from some ex serving soldiers who have been placed in a similar situation...Not from a long range sniper who knows sweet FA about the Army.

This long range sniper (outdated and derogatory term for an Army wife) - knows a lot more than you give me credit for - as i work for the British Army in Germany - I have been on exercises -I liaise with Brigadiers, Major Generals and the lads on the ground from Pte to WO1 - I'm part of Media Ops and I edit an Army magazine (oh and my husband is still serving after 24years) - if you look at my original post i said there are no women in the infantry and I will stand by that - I may know Sweet FA - but my husband knows a hell of a lot more about the army than most - he's been there - got the full chest of medals - and i ain't gonna argue with him!
