Well, isn't this interesting:

While her colleague, Jessica Lynch, was scheduled to receive 80-percent disability for her injuries, Johnson was only scheduled to get 30 percent. Johnson said she deserved more and her family suggested race might be a factor. The Army has since changed its mind and has increased her disability to 50 percent.

"It wasn't a comparison between me and Jessica. Her injuries were so much more severe. She deserved more. I just felt that I deserved more than 30 percent," Johnson said.

Gee, je$$ie hijack$on said it was because she was black. Now, why would he say such a thing?

Johnson's story could soon end up in a book and she said she is also negotiating a movie deal.

Well now, Jessica Lynch was ripped to shreds over "her" movie that she wasn't even involved in or paid for and her modest $500,000.00 book deal. I wonder if there will be similar wrath for Shoshana? Not that 2 wrongs make a right, but it will be very informative to see the different reactions, if any.

This should be interesting. I wonder if the closet socialists will pop back up to tell Shoshana what she should do with her book/movie proceeds?

Wonder to what extent of injuries a vet from WWII had to have to get a 50% disability...
