Bart:
Thanks. Which still makes me wonder how Molly got recruited to
sacrifice as much as she did for the 2nd OOP so early on. But that
sounds like a job for fanfic.

Lynda:
Well let's consider:  By the time the 2nd OOP is created Molly is not 1)
Newly married 2)Very possibly expecting a child 3) Very possibly has young
children at home 4) having to cope with protective male siblings.

Having lost her brothers and needing to protect her own now older children
probably had a lot to do with her decision to join. Offhand, I know many
women who would do the same. (Women are fiercely protective when it comes
to their kids).
