Life
Hammouti-Reinke is the child of Moroccan parents and grew up with five siblings in Hanover-Linden , which they say is a “typical guest worker quarter”. She had many Turkish friends, but only a few German friends. Her father, who used to want to fight against the French protectorate in Morocco, always wanted her brothers to pursue a career in the Bundeswehr and do something for Germany. Finally she decided to do it herself, inspired by the US feature film Pearl Harbor (2001): “A lot of navy, aviation, comradeship, standing up for something. And I thought that was so great that I said: 'I'm going to join the Bundeswehr.' "
She has been a soldier since 2005, meanwhile with the rank of lieutenant at sea . In 2008 and 2011 she took part twice in the Bundeswehr mission in Afghanistan , which she emphatically defends: “How many people we were able to help there, how many women we were able to help so that they can move around freely there. The security forces that are there now and that are being trained there would not exist if this mandate did not exist. "
In 2019, Hammouti-Reinke published her book Ich diene Deutschland: A plea for the Bundeswehr - and why it has to change . Among other things, she reported that there is also racism and sexism in the Bundeswehr , but not more than elsewhere, and even less: “Islam hatred”, which exists everywhere else, “I don't have that within the troops”.
Hammouti-Reinke is the chairman of the German Soldier Association , which was founded during the Sarrazin debate in order to show "a provocative example of successful integration " using soldiers with a migration history . Because there is "nothing higher than serving our country and, if necessary, giving one's life for it."
