Wild Bill Hickok was investigating a ‘Disturbing the Peace’ incident in a saloon in Dodge City Kansas one night when he was City Marshall. His deputy ran into the saloon. Wild Bill shot and killed him when he entered. Bill then took his anger and grief out on the rest of the ‘other side of the tracks,’ spending the rest of the night shooting up the saloons, cribs and whatever lower class citizens that might be in sight. That story is rarely told. At the same time some of the national news were describing the female police officer’s role in the shootout at Ft. Hood, I was reading Yahoo News , the male police officer gave a press release describing his role in the incident. His description of the incident was that she ran into a firefight where she had to decide who was what while trying to dodge, he came to a fight where the perpetrator was mopping up and he had time to evaluate and aim. Both officers did as good a job as can be expected, gender was not a factor.

Todd is a Black man.

The news was all a-flutter today with Ms. Munley’s height and weight, of all things. The underlying message was that, while everyone already knows that a woman can do a man’s job, we now know that a petite woman can do it even better. It’s a cinch that the talking heads will quietly ignore Todd’s efforts and use this event to push (again) for putting women into direct combat.

Everyone knows who Jessica Lynch is. But who knows who Patrick Miller is? Answer: nobody. Todd can expect a similar fate.

“Didn’t you know white males can’t be heroes?”

Actually, Mark Todd is a black man.

Gender trumps race, in this case.

The Powers That Be really wanted the narrative of a woman stopping an Islamic terrorist, the poetic justice of it (in their eyes).

How about a TV show – on the FOX network, naturally – where each week, Kimberly Munley, Jessica Lynch, and Lynndie England form a secret squad “Cheney’s Angels” rescuing 3rd world countries from Evildoers, stopping Mushroom Clouds, and torturing Islamofascists when they are not being hampered by limp-wristed LIBERAL politicians and politically correct Generals and Admirals. Maybe we could add Ann Coulter, Sarah Palin, and Michelle Malkin as guest agents. Obama, Pelosi, and Barney Frank will be guest villians who try to hamper the “Freedom Fems” – Rambos with Lipstick!

"who seamed to have done quite a bit to finish that dirty job:" Shouldn't the word be "seemed"? [thanks] I agree that the male officer should get the praise as well. On another topic, the evil scum that murdered Anne Pressley just got life in prison. He got off way too easily. [That's horrible news.]

The alleged ‘hero’ may not have even hit her target:

It’s more radical egalitarianism.

Didn’t you know white males can’t be heroes?
