And selective amnesia is very likely for not being able to cope with the trauma she endured. The memories could kill her.
She was left for dead. I think her injuries and things done to her are much worse than reported at all! I have feared from the beginning her 'back spinal injury' may have left her paralised and we should not diminish what she has gone through.
Yes, the spinal injury sounds ominous. IIRC it was a lumbar fracture, and such trauma can cause problems with continence. (Sorry to be so blunt, but that's often the reality of this kind of injury, and might explain why her condition is being kept hush-hush.)
From the beginning, I've doubted that her injuries were caused by torture by the Iraqis, however. (Sounded more like her vehicle fell on top of her and crushed several bones.) I also doubted that she kept firing and "fought to the death."
Nonetheless she is an American soldier and deserves to be honored for doing her duty. What's shameful is that lies have likely been told to further a certain agenda.
