You don't know that. None of us knows what really happened.

That's exactly the problem. What is the government hiding and why?

Yes, that's true. But, it is fair to speculate on this forum, as that is what we do 99% of the time. Also, it is just as fair to speculate that she did not deserve the medal as it is to speculate that she did.

My speculation is that even in the best scenario, her actions did not rise above many others in her unit, and certainly not over many others in other units. It is plain to see that she has thus in all liklihood been issued a medal because of her celebrity status.

I don't think we'll learn anything new, but isn't she supposed to speak to the press sometime today?

As far as degradation of medals go, I do have a problem with it but we must remember not to blame Jessica Lynch. She didn't make the rules. I think the Army and the higher ups have decided that America needs war heros and will take them anyway they can.
