What was it that Iraqi guy said at the airport yesterday? "We went to bed and, when we woke up, we said 'where did all the Americans come from?'.

Actually, that quote came from an American Marine. He was talking about how the Iraqi people had been led to believe that the Americans were nowhere near Baghdad, and that we had come up to and INto Baghdad so quickly, that "it was as if they all went to bed normally, and in the morning woke up and said 'Hey, where did all these Americans come from?' "

They would NEVER call a 19-year old male POW "Mikey."

But from a purely Damsel-in-Distress perspective, can you imagine how great those SEALs must have felt to be rescuing not only an American POW, but a cute blonde female? Or am I wrong about that? For the Vets on here, would it jar the Knight-in-Shining-Armor part of you to be rescuing a female, or would it really and truely be the same as rescuing a male?

Those guys are so professional that I don't think they would initially feel anything other than that they were rescuing a U.S.Army soldier. Maybe later, after they had her safely on the helicopter the chivalrous feelings may have set in.

I do know that when my son was at West Point, he always helped his fellow cadets whether they were female or male. But, usually if he was helping a female he would always let her take the credit for something and wouldn't always do that with a fellow male cadet.
