Should've retired like 40 years ago. I hope she was able to pass on that skill set already. I hope this was a case of "that's what I wanted to do today" and not a case of "that's what has to happen today". When at war, I can understand that priorities change. She probably has a strong bond to going above and beyond for her country, but no one should have to feel that way. I have great respect for her, and I feel great sadness that her skills are even needed currently.
