Ms Lynch, Thank you for the sacrifice you have made for your country. God bless you.
Ah, well...stupider people than J. Lynch have served their country willingly, as she did, and gotten more than they bargained for. And are respected for it.
Why, when I was in grade school there was this boy who used to chase me home, cheat on tests, talk back to teachers and one day he even humped a coatrack in the schoolroom and laughed about it, and that was in 1959. But when he came back from Viet Nam in '67 with one less leg, I stopped saying unkind things about him for the next 38 years until now, and believe me he was a real assclown.
Therefore I have nothing unkind to utter aloud about J. Lynch. She's been through some serious crap, and it could take years to mature and sort it out.
I may be cynical, but it sounds to me like Jessica misses the spotlight and tried to put herself back in it.
I could be wrong, but...
I think it would do some good to look at the things she has done, not just for herself, but for the friend who made the ultimate sacrifice.
Lynch is permanantly disabled due to her treatment by the Iraqis, and ANY of you disabled vets know that the injury is not the only nightmare that she lives with.
Shame on you.
Well since she slept through most of it....aw f' it.
She did serve, deserves to have her opinion heard....
And we have NO idea what kind of trauma she's gone through.
What an idiot. Does she not realize how GLAD everyone was when she got rescued??? It wasn't a symbol of our war, numbskull....it was a symbol of chivalry, bravery, teamwork, and brains coming together.
Using a french distortion of JL's interview in TIME as a stick to beat her with. Very classy treatment of a service-related 80% disabled veteran.
"The willingness with which our young people are likely to serve in any war, no matter how justified, shall be directly proportional as to how they perceive veterans of earlier wars and how they were treated and appreciated by this country." - George Washington
Jessica Lynch needs to use this situation to milk the media all that she can! She needs to capture the spotlight while she can get into the headlines.
If you've got it, exploit it and use it to rack in the money.

It seems to me that she should be grateful to the US for rescuing her sorry butt. I never did believe her story about firing her weapon to the last bullet and fighting the terrorists. I bet she hid under a vehicle and surrendered without a struggle.
