Capt. Nichola Goddard just became the first Canadian female soldier to be killed since World War 2.

I will point out a few things about the captain that make her interesting to me. First, her husband is a civilian. Next, she was an infantry officer of the Princess Patricias, and former Artillery. Quite a reversal of roles there.

Neanmoins, restez-vous tres bien en paix.

From what I heard on the news, her family was very proud of her and said that gender was irrelevant to her ability to be a good soldier.

Requiescat in pacem.
