Oh oh..now you've done it.

[Catspaw]

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?

Yes.

What an insult to Pfc. Lynch, her family, our Armed Forces and to the United States of America.

[sauropod]

Even though I agree with the writer's last paragraph, the article is offensive.

Jessica Lynch is a heroine. Wonder if this writer would have done the same thing she did. 'Pod

[dead]

I am certain that no such effort would have been made to rescue a young man of her age and inexperience.

Tell it to Scott O'Grady, jackass.

The answer is yes. Why do leftists always have to reduce an issue into race and sexual preference? In addition, what about this incestuous hills crap? Isn't that a bit racist. Oh, I forgot, you can't be a racist if you're a liberal.

". It has occurred to none of them that if God had anything to do with it, he would have stayed the hands of Bush and Blair and sent no one into battle."

I suppose God needs special dispensation from Mr. Sewell?

[dark_lord]

...the same incestuous hills of West Virginia among which Jessica was born?

A viper tongue indeed.

[Dialup Llama]

Brian Sewer has written a vile article and the paper is vile for printing it.

[gaijin]

She was rescued for no other reason than that she is a girl, and the all-American blonde to boot.

Oh, the joys of being a class-conscious, old-world country...

[Mr. K]

This almost deserves a ZOT except it echoes SOME things we have said all along- when we put weaker people into inappropriatre roles, we always risk that the stronger people will rush to their aid and risk more lives.


However I do believe we would have resuced any soldier (man or woman) given this set of circumstances (i.e. a lead into their whereablots, and the ability to get in and kick some butt while we were at it...)

Driving across the desert with other US servicemen unable to read a compass or take direction from the sun, she was separated from a convoy, ambushed, injured, captured by Iraqis and taken to a hospital in Nasiriyah, on the Euphrates, nearer Basra than Baghdad.

This guy is making it sound as though it was her fault that her group lost its way. From what I have read, it was an officer who took the wrong turn.

Yes. That's all that needs to be said.

[Zavien Doombringer]

AMEN to that brother, you said it so well.

Based on a number ogf operations during the Vietnam war including Song Tay and some others the answer to this question is a definitive YES.

[DianaN]

We should all do a google search on this man and dive bomb him with nasty emails.

This guy is an idiot. Search-and-rescue operations are not conducted on the basis of someone's race or sexual orientation.

[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".

[BSunday]

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