Ira Hayes was tormented by survivor's guilt. He didn't want to be treated like a star for pushing up a flag pole while his buddies were dying.

He just didn't want to sleep at the Waldorf while his buddies were sleeping with one eye open in a hole in the ground.

Did Jessica Lynch have to go on the Today Show and other programs because the Army required her to? I honestly don't know. I always thought that stuff was to promote her book.

She presents sort of a mixed message, I think.
