Barbie is a medic serving in Desert Storm.

This is the first doll I bought as an adult.  At the time, my brother was in basic training for the Army (Michigan National Guard), and I bought it as a gift for him -- the perfect girlfriend!  I stuffed her medic bags with lacy black lingerie.  But before I could send the doll to him, he found a wonderful woman (who he later married)... and I decided I really wanted to keep the doll.  This was the start of my "warrior woman collection."
