Amanda Allen | Hunting Escaped Taliban Prisoners

Michigan-born Amanda Allen is a self-described adrenaline junkie. The fire department wasn't enough so she joined the Army. Even though she wanted to be in the infantry and join the Rangers, as a female, she wasn't allowed so the next closest option was Military Police. When she deployed to the middle east, she found that while being a female in the military is already hard, being a female in the military in Afghanistan is even harder. Fortunately her natural grit and fighting spirit served her well.

This is her story.
