She has to be.
There is just no way in hell that the individual in the pictures could even pass a physical, much less survive basic, and then be qualified enough to deployed to the AOR.
There is absolutely no f-ing way that thing ever served a day in her life.
Actually--and this part is kind of melancholy, kind of sad--when I first saw the authenticated photographs of nadin, I was suddenly remembering all I'd seen in the socialist paradises of the workers and peasants, including those lilliputian because of undernourishment and free medical care.
Or, in another sense, nadin looks very much like her ancestors in Poland prior to 1939, undersized because of bad nourishment and anti-Semitic harassment and persecution.
Those of Hebraic derivation who emigrated to America tended to eat well and grow healthily.
But nadin's grandparents had emigrated to a third-world country.
It's sad that she's stunted, but at the same time one doesn't feel sorry for her, because of her ego and arrogance.
