MY KIND OF WOMAN

Just a llittle rant

MY KIND OF WOMAN

 

Most of us are familiar with the whining lamentations

of women for women`s rights--- whatever in the world

that would mean.   Some are against abuse (well, who

is`nt ?)  Some are for equal employment (well, who

is`nt ?)  We can run this ad infinitum to cover every

kind of grievance against men and for women.

 

Who, of these liberal enthusiasts with the flowery

phrases, is singing the praises of Kimberly Munley.

 

Of course you never heard of her, she is an actual

hero.  She is a woman who , instead of whining about

her rights, goes out and takes charge.

 

Sgt. Kimberly Munley took on the slayer,  the psychiatrist responsible for the massacre of a large

number of unarmed service personnel.  She not only

engaged him, she shot him four times and she was

wounded in the encounter---- but she put him out of

commission and saved untold numbers of lives.

Sgt. Munley is a member of the Fort Hood , Texas

Police Department.

 

Very little has been said about this wonderful woman.

Draw your own conclusions about that.

 

I will say it---She is my kind of woman,  a real life ,

honest to God Hero, a take charge woman who acts.

 

God Bless you, Kimberly Munley.   You are my kind

of woman.

Wow!!! What a beautiful tribute to a woman who is a true hero for sure. You pay homage to a courageous gal who is not afraid to step up to the plate and swing instead of sitting on the sidelines whining about her rights. In this day and age, all those who serve and protect put their life on the line every day they put on a uniform and go to work. They are my unsung heroes. With that being said, I am glad you have honored this lady in this special way. What a blessing to read!

Whoa... That struck a core, and ouch... That's a PUNCH line too, in its every meaning. I feel like closing my account here now and finally concentrating on other projects that need my attention asap.

Your style... I have no other word for it right now but poignant, and pointing... Like a surgeon taking out a knife and stabbing it right where there's something that needs fixing. I know I already said it, but that's honestly the closest one that describes it for me... at least for now.

I commented on this on your profile as well and I'll comment again. Firstly, I agree with the other comments about this brave woman and people just like her. This is a stirring write. I loved this, a lot, and thank you for writing it.

A stirring write. It boils the blood and raises the passion. Good stuff, good stuff indeed. It all needs to be said and rightly so....I applaud this write while standing.
Courage is nothing about men or women, courage is about what's inside. The metal of an individual if you like. True, raw courage is found in those individuals that endanger themselves for complete strangers but the greatest hero's in my book...the ones that are honest to goodness real life hero's....are the ones that stumble upon tragedy and react with their heart, not their instinct or their training....but without hesitation they endanger themselves for a complete stranger with all the esteem they carry in their heart for another human being, another life. They are the ones I doff my hat too, they are the ones that deserve the greatest honour because they did it without any backup at all. None!

Excellent poem on a powerful subject. I have to say I tend to tune out whenever the subject of women's lib comes up. You're right, it involves a lot of lamentations about helpless American women being oppressed by the evil patriarchy. (I don't feel helpless or oppressed; I must have Stockholm Syndrome or something.)

Like Ms. Hammond says, Sgt. Munley is not sitting on the sidelines whining about her rights. She deserves to be honored. I read somebody state that it was the other officer who brought down the lunatic, as if that negates her courage somehow. Really, though, so what? Who of us would be willing to charge into a room to try to take down an armed and deranged killer? I can't even play laser tag.

But Sgt Munley and her partner did not hesitate an instant. She still curses the fact that they could not arrive sooner. She and the other officer saved many lives that day. I would like to know why the news people did not call her a hero.
