If Ivanka Trump called, I think good people need to serve.

As a feminist, I'll wear whatever I want to.

When I fell, some people were in such shock that they didn't reach out. They were so mad at me, rather than having compassion for what happened. I lost a lot of friends.

Hopefully women can work with [Ivanka Trump ] to influence up the chain of command. I think it's good for us, for women. It's a glimmer of hope.

I'm 100 percent serious. I've been fighting for equality for women's issues my entire life, in the military included.

I want to serve. I love my country. I love service above self and I don't want my talents to go to waste. I also want to send a message to other men and women who've tripped over themselves, or over life: that you need to serve your time in purgatory.

I had been sort of a rising star - an athlete, a scholar, a leader. My dream was to become a high-level national security adviser.
