"Actually, weather in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Iraq-the main theater of operations in the war-is a lot like the climate in parts of Arizona and New Mexico, ranging from hot and dry in the South to cool and mountainous in the North."
Oh I agree she is talking climate. But I still think its no comparison to a lush life with air conditioning near Phoenix compared to the harsh desert conditions for troops in Saudi Arabia and Kuwait at war.
Its an extreme comparison but Stevie was trying to relate as much as she could. And that part is the sweet Stevie even though some may roll their eyes
