A household name, yes, a national hero, no. But she is a national symbol of something greater...and it all started with her volunteering to serve her nation and putting on the uniform. That is what lead her to where she is today.

If you and a hand full of other wish to vent your personal frustrations and try to make something out of this brave young soldiers service then it's not then you are no better then the press.

And save your scouts out and calvary ho BS for your playmates...it doesn't much impress me.

Yeah, Chief, I guess my affectations for the cavalry don't impress you much. If I were trying to impress you, it might upset me you feel this way, but I really couldn't care less about impressing you.

Not a national hero? Wake up, Chief. Where have you been since 3 April? Go to www.jessica-lynch.com and see the hero worship in her name. Some guy I never heard of even wrote a song called "She's an American Hero", and there's a link to it on that website. Newspaper articles refer to her as "America's best-known GI". She's not a national hero, Chief? Your lack of a grip on reality doesn't impress me much.

SCOUTS OUT! CAVALRY HO!

PS...that's combat arms lingo, by the way...I realize you warrant officers are kinda limited on your knowledge of combat arms.
