"That's all folks".

Ok, it's time for a break and to have some fun.
This morning while driving to work, I had the thought, 'if I could send anyone from the United States, a real person or fictional character, to go get Osama Bin Laden, who would it be?'
So... based on the following criteria:
1. It can be a real person, or a ficitonal character.
2. It can be male, female, canine, feline... but no robots or cyborgs.
3. They must be / have been American...
Who would you send?
My dear brother and sister FReepers,
At this, of all times in my lifetime, I would like nothing more than to be able to read these threads and reply to them. I have much I would like to say.
BUT, I cannot!
Why?
Because I am trying hard to raise the finances needed to keep FreeRepublic up and running so that we can continue to share valuable information and respond to it.
I beg you, if you have not yet donated to FreeRepublic this quarter, do so now!
If you have already donated, THANK YOU VERY MUCH AND GOD BLESS YOU, please ping your friends, and FReep on...!
I realize you are giving to lots of Relief efforts and I encourage you to do so. But we need to help FR too. Where would we be right now without it?
If you have no money, please come and bump the Fundraiser Thread.
I would really like to reach our goal quickly so that I and the rest of the dedicated FReepers who are working the Fundraiser Threads can participate in what is undeniably the most important time in FreeRepublic's history.

Rank and organization: Corporal, U.S. Army, Company G, 328th Infantry, 82d Division. Place and date: Near Chatel-Chehery, France, 8 October 1918. Entered service at: Pall Mall, Tenn. Born: 13 December 1887, Fentress County, Tenn. G.O. No.: 59, W.D., 1919. Citation: After his platoon had suffered heavy casualties and 3 other noncommissioned officers had become casualties, Cpl. York assumed command. Fearlessly leading 7 men, he charged with great daring a machinegun nest which was pouring deadly and incessant fire upon his platoon. In this heroic feat the machinegun nest was taken, together with 4 officers and 128 men and several guns.
And if you have never seen the black and white movie Sgt. York, do so ASAP. One of my all-time favorite movies.

I know the "Get Some guy" is that guy in the chopper, and I think he's the guy that pushes the black guy away to cut in line for the prostitute.
I don't know his code name.
