The media has passed on a real great story about the Lt. who had the incredible presence of mind to order his platoon to kneel and point their weapons toward the ground in a brilliant act of showing the Iraqi mob that the soldiers had no intention of damaging their Mosque. To me, that was heroic. Oops, excuse me, that was a Male, therefore, only worthy of a passing comment. How politically incorrect of me:

Liberal Editor to Reporter:

Editor:

What is the matter with you? Maj. Gen. Amy Findmeaheroine is really angry at us for screwing up the Lynch story.

Reporter:

Well, Mam, I just thought what the LT did was brilliant and was worthy of reporting. In fact, I have a follow-up story about him.

Editor:

What is the matter with you, girl? We don't want any male heroes, we need girl heroes in our brave new world.
What school of journalism did you attend, one that teaches(insert your own choice here) you to tell the truth at all times? Now go out there and make the Lynch story sound plausible.

Reporter:

Ok, but, can you loosen the string as my arms are crossed and I can't open the door.

I have absolutely no problem with female military heroes.

And when a woman deliberately, voluntarily puts herself in grave danger to save the lives of those in her unit, or to guarantee the success of a critical mission - in other words, when she starts looking all John Basilone on everybody - I will think it perfectly appropriate that she receive the Medal of Honor. Absolutely.

But this ain't it.

(And here's my disclaimer, before I'm accused of being unkind: I blame Pfc. Lynch for none of this.)

Did you notice President Bush recognized him in his radio address this morning?
