Perfection in every way, spelling, grammar, punctuation, spacing and everything. I even liked the story, I just would have liked to read more.

Good job

A very personal situation of involvement in a war. She is brave, determined and courageous as she is prepared to wait for help. Thank you for sharing this one. Best wishes for your entry.

Nicely told.
She has killed several terrorists in her belt - This sentence needs reworded for clarity.
A nurse aid came to heal it. - A nurse aid would be a medic in the U.S. Army. a Corpsman, for the Marines. He would not 'heal' it, but 'treat' it.
Was this Iran, or Iraq?
Good luck in the contest.

The theme of a female soldier fighting on the battle field to server her country and preserve freedom is a strong one. I have to this could use more content, more showing, and reshaping of some of the sentences.

I recommend rereading and editing before the voting begins.

There's some lovely touches in here but it feels a little unfocused. I think it's too much of a summary rather than an engaging story. It's as though I'm reading your notes rather than the actual manuscript. I believe you have good bones here - would love to read the full piece.

Congratulations for posting a work that falls in tandem with the entry requirements of the writing prompt.

Accordingly, your work highlights Garcia, a female soldier in far away Iran; her exploits as a soldier and how her sustaining an injury got her flown out of the war zone for treatment, while her compatriots went on to win the war that continued unabated.

The work earns its texture through its effective use of anecdotes synonymous with the harzards of war.

Excellent work. Bravo.
