"How many statutes to women have you seen that was not made up?

My favorite one of those is the is the "Three nurses" statue at the Vietnam War Memorial in DC, showing fictious women in field uniforms evacuating wounded soldiers. Never happened. Women stayed in the rear areas and the (male) combat medics and navy Corpsmen were responsible for the stabilization and evacuation of casualties in the field.

The dang statue was put there as a sop to the burgeoning feminist movement but doesn't reflect reality. I've always promised myself that I'll melt the damn thing myself someday.
