This is a very interesting story about a Navajo female Marine. (story) She could be the first Native American female in the Marine infantry. Her brother advised her against joining the Marine Infantry, but she did it. Up until now, it has been good. She says she has faced being in the infantry, just previously an all-male occupation specialty. She says she is ready for combat. She has not seen any combat, but only time will tell whether it is a good idea to have females in combat. This is one decision by President Obama that I do not agree with. There is just a lot of concerns for a woman to be in that environment, but we respect her decision. Leondra should ask combat veterans about her decision, those that seen the ugly side of war. I just hope she stays okay and completes her military career successfully. With all the missing and murdered indigenous women out on the Navajo rez, it might be safer for her to be where she's at, afterall. Good job representing our Dine People. Good luck.
