As only 18 years old she traveled with her combat group through Iraq Street, when their vehicle was attacked and it spine few times. When she awake, she and her comrades in arms were on aim of Iraqi insurgent, but Combat Barbie was the first to react. She hit insurgent, who was surprised and confused by her reaction, so she managed to take his weapon. For that stroke she received reworded for courage.
“I was in complete shock at first. The force of the accident caused our vehicle to roll over three times and threw us off guard.”
“As I came round, the Iraqi suspect was standing over us with the rifles. I knew if I didn’t act fast then our lives would be in danger. I punched him and the force startled him enough for me to retrieve the rifles from him” said Combat Barbie to the press.
Ms Hodge, a military clerk with The Adjutant General’s Corps, has already won the Miss Tunbridge Wells crown. She said: “I was delighted to have been selected for the Miss England final and it is a great honor.”
