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.

MSNBC reporting that the Republican Guard in the Baghdad area is virtually defeated.

The fight will mostly be against those marytrdom idiots in the pickemup trucks(my words).
