In Rememberance of Paula Loyd

In 2009, Paula Loyd was in Afghanistan.  She was an anthropologist working for the U.S. government.
She loved Afghanistan and the people.  Her personal mission was to make life better for the women and girls of Afghanistan.  She was no soldier.
Near the town of Gaznhi, Afghanistan, she was interviewing villagers.  One man she talked to, Abdul Salam,  threw gas on her and set her on fire.  She died later in the United States of her burns.
Sergeant Don Ayala shot the man in the head.
In my opinion, I am glad they decided not to charge the sergeant with anything.  I would have done the same thing.
