The other, is that she's Polish, and has hooked up with a NATO unit after the 5th Infantry disintegrated.
While I like them both, I think you have your answer. I had a creative writing professor in college who used to always ask "whose story is it?" I think with your backstory it's definitely the Texan BMP driver. Alt-country/punk riot girl from Austin with an attitude, I love it!

For my campaign I'm getting ready to paint a BTR-70 captured by 5ID and utilized by the PC's as part of the 256 BDE for Escape from Kalisz. I'm not a very good painter but I'm trying to find a way to make it not only make it look nice and beat up but also flying a large flag with "LSU" in purple and yellow on one side and a New Orleans Saints gold Fleur de lis on a black background on the other. Not only to show pride in their home state but also as a way of IFF. I will post the disastrous results when complete.
