He has a story that can be told.... and to characterize Lynch as "allowing herself to be paraded" when she was still barely conscious and in the hands of the enemy is despicable.

I understand that the media picks darlings using somewhat discriminating criteria. But to dishonor Lynch to promote someone else as "the real hero" is unseemly, and unnecessary.

If Patrick Miller has a story, it should be told, but it should not be cast as a 'better story than Lynch'. Lynch didn't ask to be in a story, and her honor does not need to be diminished to give honor to another. There is plenty of honor to go around.

I think you misunderstood what RJS was talking about when he said Miller refused to be paraded. He was talking about the press attention Lynch got after she was picked up from the Iraqi hospital, and the parading she's still getting. Remember, when she was unconscious and lying in that hospital, no one had even heard her name. By the time the nation first heard her name, she was already safe in allied hands. Since then, she's been paraded and credited with the heroics of others, when in fact what she did was get a truck shot out from under her, then survive a Humvee crash, in which she suffered her injuries.

Yes, she served well and honorably, but thanks to the feminazi agenda of the lamestream media and DACOWITS, she's been made into Xena, Warrior Princess, when Miller, Riley and Sloan were the ones who did the fighting. Of course, just because a story is a lie doesn't mean Hollyweird and the CommieLibs in our society won't run with it, does it?

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
