Great post. It's been a tough evening here. Regardless of how the facts play out defending her honor is worth it.

There is safety in numbers. Why did the Major decide to go it alone? I am sure that OSI will find the answers.

Thanks for that. Bob Hope was a great friend of the military. I remember how we used to wait for his Christmas shows every year.

Well I don't think I have ever read so many ignorant and vicious statements directed at a serving American officer in my time in this forum.

Ditto.

I wonder if these sophmoric morons are really Freepers, or democRats here to make it appear they are Freepers.

If they are Freepers, perhaps they would be so kind as to enlist in the armed services so they can find out first hand what it's about?

If they're democRats, may they rot and burn in Hell for eternity.

I am only addressing women in combat not women in the military.

Secondly this was a superb example of an American female warrior capable of outrunning for at least twenty six miles almost any of the chair bound warriors slumped over their keyboards on this thread.

Thank you. I really appreciate your post. I hate to see that kind of crap on this forum about any of our troops.

We'll never hear anything like this again.

She's 30, and a major? Sounds like below the zone to me. I've been retired 13 years now, so things might have changed. I pinned on major at the 11 year point from 2ndLt and that was on time.

I am not comfortable with intentionally placing women in harms way.

Nowadays, anyplace is harm's way, and women place themselves, they aren't 'placed'.

Wow Hope was really young then. No I doubt we see anything like him anytime soon.

For God's sake, you people who posted all those smarta.. remarks, and who set yourself up in judgement about one of our military should be ashamed and should think about what motivated this public nastiness to someone who should have been given at the least the benefit of the doubt.This is the first time I've really seen something like this on FR involving a deployed military officer.

I'm glad it was the first. I hope beyond hope it's the last, but I've seen it all too often before, Jessica Lynch being only my most vivid memory of it.

I was referring mainly to his sentiments in the clip, but you are correct as well.

Have you heard about Gary Sinise's Lt. Dan Band doing USO shows?
