Not sure about the rest of you, but for Jessica to profit leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

Not me. I look back on Grady's profiteering from his own incompetence and find nothing wrong with the Lynch story, either in her actions leading up to the ambush, during the capture or since her arrival back at home.

She has conducted herself admirably the whole time, she was not responsible for the media mythology created around her, she has not been a publicity hound or forgotten those who served with her and rescued her.

If there is interest in her story, let her tell it. I expect she will it much more honestly than the pilot profiteer did. If it helps her retirement fund, so be it. As an aspiring school teacher in West Virginia, I imagine she'll need it. She sure wasn't going to profit much from her service to the country as a PFC.

Thank you.... There are a few people, Lynch among the more honorable, who for a moment catch the attention of the country. Their stories in no way diminish any of the others. Libraries are full of the stories of just one person, caught up in larger events. They provide opportunity for more stories, not fewer.
