No, they were men and therefore biologically designed, with a firmware operating system, to deal and defend against brute force. Then why didn't they? It seems to me they did no better than Lynch. That tells me that Lynch wasn't injured because she was out of her element, but because she was in a Humvee crash since the men were incapacited also. The only female you can claim that may have been a drag to the resistance might have been Shoshana since she was the only female still able to fight. Whether she did well or not I don't know because I'm not worried about every little detail to nitpick on our soldiers. I'll let the Army worry about that.
They were dead and thus incapable of action. The men that were not out of it, fought. Miss Lynch did not fight. Her weapon "jammed".
Miller thought Lynch was dead. There've been several reports that she was unconscious. You can't blame Lynch for this if she did no worse than the men that were with her in the Humvee.
She was there, by her own statement, for employment opportunities.
Most men join for the money also.
I have issues with Bubba, and Miss Lynch has certainly been made a poster child for his policies.
She shouldn't be. She, like the men with her in the Humvee, was incapacitated by the wreck. If you want to see how women do in combat, check Shoshana. Checking Lynch proves nothing.
She had no business there in the first place.
Take it up with someone else, I don't care about that issue enough to argue about it. I'll leave that for the Army and for those that have been there to haggle over. We've had several women on this site that have served and support females doing Lynch's job, look for one of them to argue with about that.
She must weigh 125 soaking wet, with fragile physique and no upper body strength capable of throwing a grenade farther than its own killing radius.
Yeah, whatever. Tell someone else.
We put real war assets in danger to get her out, when rescue attempts historically is to get captured fighters out to return to the front.
She wasn't captured because she was a woman, she was captured because she was in a Humvee crash. If you want to look at fighting performance, look at Shoshana. Her case is the only one that would show evidence one way or the other.
With the rest of what happened, it is obvious that this was a political mission, which are rare, but do exist in time of war.
Nah. She was rescued because she was a POW.
They are frustrated with lies and fraud to turn a stabile society on its head, ignoring the unalterable characteristics of Nature, with the resulting chaos and instability for all.
They need to look at a case that's relevent. Lynch's case isn't relevant since she did no worse than the men in the Humvee.
I applaude them for pointing out the cracks (nitpicking) in the media structure built around Miss Lynch and the negative implications of that deceitful structure are legion. Were you not in a victim of liberal conditioning, you would be, too.
Don't call me a liberal or brainwashed. I know BS when I see it. And holding up Lynch as an example of women in combat is BS since she did no worse than the men in her Humvee.
You're telling me that you actually are unaware of the artificial hype around Miss Lynch?
I remember the same hype surrounding Zaun and the others in Gulf War 1. I remember the same hype with the hostages in Iran. I remember the same hype with Terry Anderson. You're imagining things.
I'm afraid I can't buy the "just wanting to honor those that had a hard time". I read what you have to say on other Lynch threads and don't get that impression. I don't think you can deny that Miss Lynch is getting away and gone more attention than others have gotten who really did something.
Sure because she was a lone rescuee. Them's the breaks. Some poeple are better known due to circumstance. And if you look at Free Republic, the people giving Lynch all the media attention are the very same people that are complaining of attention. A high percentage of Lynch threads are posted by Lynch bashers, just like this one was. And then they complain of attention! LOL Physician, heal thyself. If not for the bashing, there would be hardly any Lynch threads here.
Why do you think that is? And what purpose do you think that such hype is designed to serve?
I know what you purpose is. You give her attention for your pet peeve about women in military. Others hold her up for every little complaint they have from some weird cuteness envy, to bookwriting, or whatever.
Then why didn't they? They did. This article is about one.
You can't blame Lynch for this if she did no worse than the men that were with her in the Humvee.
Then why the media blitz for someone who didn't do anything except get hurt?
She shouldn't be. She, like the men with her in the Humvee, was incapacitated by the wreck. If you want to see how women do in combat, check Shoshana. Checking Lynch proves nothing.
She shouldn't be the focus of the media but she is. What did Shoshana do? What did Shoshana do that couldn't be done better by several million men who weren't in the military? The point here is that there are a vast number of men suited to this work, what is the need to use women?
Tell someone else? Do you support sending women into combat?
If you want to look at fighting performance, look at Shoshana. Her case is the only one that would show evidence one way or the other.
Her case would show evidence? It didn't?
Nah. She was rescued because she was a POW.
Perhaps, perhaps not. You mentioned that successful hostage rescues are rare. The why this rescue for one rescuee?
Lynch's case isn't relevant since she did no worse than the men in the Humvee.
She did no worse at being unconscious than the other unconscious men? But would she equal a male soldier? Common sense indicate she would not.
I remember the same hype surrounding Zaun and the others in Gulf War 1. I remember the same hype with the hostages in Iran. I remember the same hype with Terry Anderson. You're imagining things.
I'm imagining the media hype around Miss Lynch?
