I think the point is that the US military was still segregated in 1946.

That was Patton being Patton. Mainly because the Soviets had a hell of a lot more troops than we did, and had more and better tanks. They would have kicked our asses.

Ah, makes much more sense.

I hate stupid feminist jargon as much as the next right-thinking person, but when you descend to the level of locker-room hazing as we did in this episode, it seems appropriate.

Lesile Jones: still the worst, still hopelessly incompetent as a sketch performer. I have no problem at all with a chick "Ghostbusters", could be funny, but puttling Leslie Jones in it is unbelievable. Whom is she blackmailing?

I don't understand this post. The show is its own thing, with its own canon.
