“I just want to get everyone home,” she said. In the past several weeks, Captain Bagley, 30, barred her troops from foot patrols in the most violent neighborhoods and eliminated all nonessential travel. “I’m just not willing to lose another soldier,” she said.

Some commands won't do too many patrols within the final days of a deployment. And I'm not sure how many troops this female "Captain" has under her since we don't give command of combat arms units to females. That only leaves MPs and even then we're talking a limited number of troops.

The article is said to be from New York TImes (obviously anti-Bush and anti-FIGHTING TERRORIST SOMEWHERE ELSE) and is biased.
The article was written to make it seem she was disobeying orders. Many units suspend missions at 30 days out to get ready for redeployment back home and to ready the unit that is replacing them.
Please use caution when reading stories online (including here) because it is easy to produce a website.
