The madness of saving Jessica (gag)

Evening Standard (U.K.) ^ | 04/08/03 | Brian Sewell

[amused]

Talk about ruining a valid debate over women in combat with such vicious insults....thanks Sewell for providing a living breathing example of the caricature that opponents salivate over.

Brian Sewell
You are a "puke".

[dead]

His point that woman should not be in combat is certainly a valid point of discussion, but that's his only valid point.

For example, how the hell does he presume to know PFC Lynch's compass reading abilities?

And his point that we should would not rescue a black soldier, a gay soldier, or a "poor white boy from the incestous hills of West Virginia" is absolutely wrong, asinine, and baiting.

He's a prick.

The first words of the article were "to puke". How appropriate. Hey Sewell, stay away from women who could probably kick your @$$. For example:

Tell it to Scott O'Grady, jackass

Did you have any intelligence on the prison Scott O'Grady was being held? Different situation! We have pilots still being held prisoner in Iraq, did anyone dare go get them? Now pick up your lip Jackass!

[Steve_Seattle]

This guy suffers from a bad case of courage-envy. He is so self-centered, he can't believe the rest of the world isn't just like him.

[MineralMan]

"Would so many men and so much expensive machinery have been risked for the rescue of a jar-head marine of 19, a black boy of 19, a homosexual boy of 19 or a poor white boy of 19 from the same incestuous hills of West Virginia among which Jessica was born? "

Yup. Happens all the time. We go in and get our own soldiers. That's it. And what's the deal with "incestuous?" This Brit doesn't know his butt from his mouth, and he's talking out of the wrong one. Feh!

[Grampa Dave]

One can only hope that this maggot gets to finish his hate speech with a former or current SAS member.

To Brian Stwell (author of this opinion paper)

I doubt sir you have ever served. For you do not know the most basic rule of combat units -

Everyone fights, no one quits, no one gets left behind.

I trusted my fellow soldiers to do what was right and look out for my hide - I did the same for them. We were brothers in arms and would do what ever it took to bring one of ours home.

I believe that had this been a "volunteer only" mission, you would have had to decide which of the volunteers you use on the mission and which would not be allowed to go. Not because of Lynch - but because a brother in arms was in need.

Sir you speak about which you have no knowledge.

What did Jessica do to become a Hero? She was doing her job! What was beyond the call of duty that requires her heroine status? Heros get the Medal of Honor

[graycamel]

PUKE? THAT'S WHAT THE ARTICLE IS!

[thatdewd]

I wanna kick this guy's ass. HARD.

[narby]

Brian Sewell = Brian Sewer

[jwfiv]

The writer of this article, and the words written, make me puke.

Pinchy pendejo! Miserable, vomitous mass...warthog-faced buffon...I challenge him to a duel to the pain...wretched, simply wretched

Pokey78 posted the ariticle with a "Gag" notation.

We need to read articles like this to see how the left attacks persons and things we hold dear.

[sandym1313]

Women should be the army's clerks, cooks and bottlewashers, its doctors and nurses, its counters of beans and buttons, but never - even though I can imagine nothing more terrifying than a battalion of bearded lesbians - bearers of arms, never frontline soldiers.

I do believe that this was a supply and maintainence crew. The Clerks, etc.

I as a woman have doubts that woman should be in the front line but only because they are a distraction.

Not because they are not capable. Never ever cross an angry woman

[dennis1x]

though written a little too dramatically and with undertones of US hate, the premise of the article is right on and I have thought of those points many times myself.

[Catspaw]

I see you're in agreement with the author of the article.

It does make me wonder why you're posting to a conservative website when you agree so whole-heartedly with a liberal.

[matthew_the_brain]

Actually, this 'puke' makes a point by focusing on why a woman of her caliber was put in this position in the first place.

Jessica should not have been there, she was not trained to do so.
