Bea Arthur, Enemy of the State

"Best known for her roles . . . in “Maude” and “The Golden Girls,” Bea Arthur was also once a truck driver in the Marine Corps. She was one of the first members of the Women’s Reserve and . . . enlisted at the age of 21 in early 1943 under her original name, Bernice Frankel."

It must have been the abortion episode of Maude.

An enormous percentage of women and men who enter the armed services don't see combat, even in a time of war. It's funny how JD Vance, who was a PR guy, is treated like a heroic Marine, whereas Bea, who did her part in the war against fascism, is treated as "a DEI hire."
