      There was the "token female" at the end of the movie as the Hospital Corpsman Second Class Danielle Albert who is an actual U.S. Navy medic who played Chief Hospital Corpsman O'Brien. Happy?

            Medic is a term for the Army. Corpsman is Navy. Navy medic doesn't work.

              Ok we have our token female. Now if she'd just done the scene topless then everything would have been great!

                Oh maybe because it is a true story and there were no women around in reality?

                  The admiral giving orders to the US navy officer did sound like a woman. Although we only heard her voice.
                  Edit: doing some research and discovering that Admiral Howard, who in real life co-ordinated the rescue of Captain Phillips by radio, is indeed a woman, I am surprised that the movie did not utilise her more. All we got was a voice.

                      She has moved up to 4 star admiral. So that must mean you are even higher? Impressive.

                            Well, you sound like you're just being a troll but on the rare, rare instance you are not, it was based on real events and there were no women on the ship and none of the pirates were women in the actual event.

                                  It's amusing that even on the discussion boards of films that pass the 'anti-PC' criteria demanded by dorks like the OP, they're still here, whining about stuff no normal, well-adjusted human gives a crap about.

                                  Just because I stumble down the road like a drunk, that doesn't mean it's the wrong one.
