Think about it:
A teenage rear-area E-3 whose last use of a gun was very likely her annual requal is standing off two squads of stone cold killers who have had no problem with gassing entire villages but are having a severe problem with one 5'4" girl. Apparently Saddam subcontracted his combat training to the Imperial Stormtrooper Marksmanship Academy, an institution that teaches you how to stand five abreast firing automatic weapons on full rock & roll at a single target in an enclosed space and still miss, because they can't seem to kill her, only inflict wounds that would have killed any other human being three times over. At no time do these stone killers ever decide to cut their losses and depart the area, nor do they ever decide to put a couple of frag grenades or even an RPG into her position and just be done with it. They already have a good haul of prisoners and inflicted a pile of damage, so why get greedy?
Finally she stops resisting, either due to blood loss or running out of ammo or the stone killers finally got the jump on her. But they do not execute her on the spot for being an infidel invader and minion of the Great Satan, nor do they pass her around like a doobie because she's a natural blonde and in this part of the world that's like original leather interior on a '67 Stingray. No, she was apprehended by the only businessmen in Saddam's legions of evil: these guys realized she would fetch a high price on the sex slave market if she were a virgin and in good physical condition, so they take her to a hospital to heal her and bring up her blue book value. Despite this rare find, she is not placed under guard, nor are any interrogation attempts even made.
At some point some peasant finds her--not hard, considering she's currently the opposite of Yasmine Bleeth on Baywatch. This peasant makes his way to our position, where he is not shot on general principle or even viewed with suspicion because there are too many stories from 'Nam of locals giving you a big hug while pulling the pin on a frag grenade. This peasant tells them of her location, and they believe him. This still requires a showy, flashy rescue op, and the first words out of her mouth aren't the traditional "What the hell took you so Goddamned long!?" or, given her physical condition, simply "Huh?" but "I'm a soldier too."

Read the Samurai Cat series; it's much more realistic.
