It took about two paragraphs to figure out it was a woman writing the article.

I really enjoyed the paragraphs below; (The only better paragraph was the one explaining the taliban losses vs. zero losses for the Brits!)
"We could see the group of 10 to 15 men who engaged us moving toward the houses down below,” said Captain McKenzie later, “so we let rip with the four 50-cal heavy guns.
"
The force of the blast from those guns are so powerful they can rip off your arm without even hitting you. All that was left of those guys was a pink mist."
