I don't think that she actually said anything that controversial. So she carries a samsonite suitcase, sleeps where practical, doesn't like getting rocketed, and so on... So what? It sounds like an honest description of what she does during her job, and it's not especially different from anyone else's reflections. She doesn't say she likes the bad bits, she's not pretending to be tough or special, she's just talking about her job. Honesty is a rare thing to be read in the newspapers nowadays.

In retrospect ANYBODYS conversation can be picked apart, but remember that we are not all media trained - or practised (a bit like regular practise on the firing range - without it we tend to get worse).

Give her a break.
