To: Rodney King
She was given the medal precisely to put a feather in the cap of people who want non-combatant females on the front lines where they are more likely to be captured, tortured and raped.
Supposedly she tried to fight but her gun jammed. That's worth a bronze star these days?

That's worth a bronze star these days?I don't know if it's changed any, but it used to be in recent decades that the Bronze Star was pretty much handed out along with the Purple Heart. Now, geting one with the 'V' device, well, that's a different story...

Supposedl she was knocked unconscious at the beginning of the firefight. I doubt she ever knew what happened.

Yes, some said she was a regular Audi Murphy, but, because everyone else is dead and Jessica can't recall a thing. . .how can we say her gun jammed and that she tried to fight?
We can't.
According to recent reports, she was banged-up pretty badly by the crash and suffered injuries that incapacitated her.

Apparently so.
