My question is, would anyone want to go into battle with the two women that were depicted in that show - they couldn't fight their way out of a paper bag. How did they get through boot camp? lol

I have a daughter who was injured in a grenade attack in Iraq last year. A few weeks before that, she was part of an MP escort for a supply convoy. A fuel truck got hit and an MP Hummer was engulfed by the burning fuel. She and other soldiers braved enemy fire to get to it. She dragged one of the injured MPs to cover, went back and provided cover fire for the soldiers getting the other MP to safety. She suffered burns to her face and hands reaching into a flaming vehicle to rescue these men.

Needless to say, she was very disappointed by the portrayal of our women soldiers by this show.

I served in the Army six years, most of it with 3rd Ranger Battalion. I kept asking myself, "What the hell Army is this supposed to be?" This show could not have been any worse or left leaning if it had been written by Howard Dean and the DNC.

With Howard Dean the dems have formally graduated from "disarray" to "debacle", with "irretrievable disaster" just around the corner.

I am a woman who happens to believe women don't belong in combat -- women are physically weaker and more emotional, therefore more irrational, than men.

However, I feel women can offer a lot in non-combative support. My sister-in-law was an Army nurse during WW II and women make great spies.

However, we can be bad asses if we are pushed into a corner. I had -- not by choice -- to kick someone's ass a few days ago, and the old gal's lucky I didn't hurt her really bad. I also had to put her husband in jail. Her husband is my brother and a drug-crazed idiot. She is now one scared drug-crazed idiot who just got a taste of why she don't want to mess with me.

I'm 50 years old and abhor violence. My Mama taught me ladies don't fight, but don't EVER run from one. But when someone threatens me or mine, I'm mean as shit.When the survival mode kicks in, watch out.

Anyway I have been in a foul mood for days over that, and then this movie REALLY pissed me off.

I guess I need to chill out and go fishing. Fishing always puts me back into a good mood.

However, while I'm really in bad mood, I plan to let the producers of that crappy TV show know how I feel. I'll write a letter. I have letters from Fred Thompson (ex-senator from Tennessee) responding to letters I sent him about Bill Clinton's impeachment, and from Bill Jenkins responding to my letters about the United Nations.

We also need to hit the advertisers. And the great thing about FR is that before this thread ends, someone will have a list of them complete with contact info.

MASH (2005)

I particularly liked the part where she starts screaming that she can dig her own foxhole, very professional. They do not have any Hueys over there with big red crosses on them. There is no dirt, only sand. You don't pull off the road when you suspect there are IEDs. IEDs don't have little wires sticking up with white flags on them. That chopper got there pretty quick, didn't it? I seriously doubt that the motorpool guy would be standing in front of the shop and be smoking weed. What a total waste of time and hamhanded attempt to push a liberal agenda.
