Even anti-Americans should be able to cheer this rescue...

[Ted Striker]

This is one of the best stories I've heard so far.

Though you gotta give props to Jessica, she's one tough girl, she fought until she ran out of ammo. Broken ribs, legs, and gunshot wounds.

Don't be messing with those West Virginia coal miner's daughters!!!

So do most of us. We just don't presume to dictate to women what "their place" is or should be. That's there's to choose, and if a woman's ambition is to stay at home, knit, have dinner ready by six and get her man a beer when he wants one, that's her choice and more power to her.

If she wants to join the Army, and she performs as required in her MOS, then more power to her. The point is that is is up to each individual to choose their own goals in life, it is not up to a bunch of patronizing whites, males, or any other group to define the place of others.



What "unisex society?" You mean the one where women are allowed to choose what they want to do in their own lives?



There's a difference between treating a woman with consideration and courtesy, and being condescending and patronizing.

First of all when did I say that she did not belong in the Army and she should be home baking cookies? Also when did I presume to "dictate" anything about her? Finally, why is rescuing a "damsel" (i.e. young woman as opposed to young hermorphrodite) condensending? Should we pretend that she is not a woman?

In other words, she is a lady and a soldier. I doubt seriously if she resents the fact that she is a lady as some do here.

What about us pro-american anti-war people? Can we cheer to?

You may applaud, but Lao Tzu style only (one hand claps).

I have spent some time in West Virginia and I agree completely. This story is about the best I have heard coming from the war and it certainly shows America's finest from all sides.

I'll take the extreme heroism mentioned in the press with a grain of salt until I hear some corroboration, but whatever happened I'm glad she is still with us, and sad that so many of her company aren't.

Damsel-in-distress implies a woman who was kidnapped by the evil dragon and know must be rescued by a knight in shining armor. They have a term of people in her situation, POW.

I agree. Hardly a Damsel in Distress.
In fact, I'll go so far as to say that the captors should be feeling rescued themselves.
Jessica was just waiting to clean their collective clocks.
