This is one of the best stories I've heard so far.

Though you gotta give props to Jessica, she's one tough girl, she fought until she ran out of ammo. Broken ribs, legs, and gunshot wounds.

Don't be messing with those West Virginia coal miner's daughters!!!

So do most of us. We just don't presume to dictate to women what "their place" is or should be. That's there's to choose, and if a woman's ambition is to stay at home, knit, have dinner ready by six and get her man a beer when he wants one, that's her choice and more power to her.

If she wants to join the Army, and she performs as required in her MOS, then more power to her. The point is that is is up to each individual to choose their own goals in life, it is not up to a bunch of patronizing whites, males, or any other group to define the place of others.



What "unisex society?" You mean the one where women are allowed to choose what they want to do in their own lives?



There's a difference between treating a woman with consideration and courtesy, and being condescending and patronizing.


First of all when did I say that she did not belong in the Army and she should be home baking cookies? Also when did I presume to "dictate" anything about her? Finally, why is rescuing a "damsel" (i.e. young woman as opposed to young hermorphrodite) condensending? Should we pretend that she is not a woman?

In other words, she is a lady and a soldier. I doubt seriously if she resents the fact that she is a lady as some do here.

I have spent some time in West Virginia and I agree completely. This story is about the best I have heard coming from the war and it certainly shows America's finest from all sides.

I'll take the extreme heroism mentioned in the press with a grain of salt until I hear some corroboration, but whatever happened I'm glad she is still with us, and sad that so many of her company aren't.

Damsel-in-distress implies a woman who was kidnapped by the evil dragon and know must be rescued by a knight in shining armor. They have a term of people in her situation, POW.

In the palms of my hand, now

And I told them, to treat her like a lad-ay
(You got-to, got-to treat her like)
Um-hum all the best you can do
(Treat her like, you got-to, got-to treat her like)

You got to treat her like a lad-ay, she give into you
Ah-hum now who can see, you know what I mean?

I know you heard (treat her right)
That a woman (got-ta treat her right)
Will soon take advantage (treat her right) of you
(Got-ta treat her right)

Let me tell you (treat her right)
My friend (got-ta treat her right)
There just ain’t no (treat her right) subsititute-ta
(Got-ta treat her right)

You oughta a treat her like a lad-ay
(You got-ta, got-ta treat her like)
Um-hum, all (treat her like) the best you can do

(You got-ta, got-ta treat her like)
You got-ta treat her like a lad-ay
She give into you, ah-hum

Now who can see? you know what I mean

Oh, you’ve got to love her (love her)
Tease her (tease her)
But most of all you’ve got-ta please her
(Please her)

You’ve got-ta hold her (hold her)
Now an want her (want her)
And make her feel you’ll always need her
(Need her)
You know a woman (woman)
Is sentimental (woman)
And so easy (woman) to upset (woman)
So make her feel (feel)
That she’s for real (real)
An she give you happiness

Whoa-oh-oh
Strange (treat her like) as it seems-a
(You got-ta treat her like)
You know you can’t (treat her like) a woman mean
(Got-ta treat her like)

So my friends, now there you have it
I said it’s the easy simple way
Now if you fail, uh, ta do this
Don’t blame her if she looks my way-a

Cause I’m gonna a
A treat her like a lad-ay
(You got-ta, got-ta treat her like)
Um-hum, so affec (treat her like) tionately
(You got-ta, got-ta treat her like)
I’m gonna treat her like a lad-ay
She give into me, uh-huh

Now who can see?
You know what I mean
Oh you gotta a treat her like a lad-ay
(You got-ta, got-ta treat her like)
Um-hum, all the best you can do

Fade:
(You got-ta, got-ta treat her like)

She give into you...

I agree. Hardly a Damsel in Distress.
In fact, I'll go so far as to say that the captors should be feeling rescued themselves.
Jessica was just waiting to clean their collective clocks.
