Since then, she's been paraded and credited with the heroics of others

Others have written stories that were incorrect, and others have used her for their own agendas. Others have paraded her in promotion of their cause... On both sides. She has acted only honorably.

The left doesn't want a war hero. These feminazis you so fervently fight against didn't materialize... and the right that should have supported her, Freepers in particular, have been trashing her anyway, lest any woman in the military become respected. I have seen her badly used by the 'right' far more despicably than the Left.

This sure solved a problem for me. Every year my dear wife asks if there is anything in particular I'd like for Christmas.

I usually have a hard time with that. This year she can make it's PFC Lynch's book. Hell, she's probably the first U.S. soldier, who just did their duty, to face more hostility here at home then in the combat zone.

"Others have written stories that were incorrect, and others have used her for their own agendas."

Examples, please. I am unaware of anyone other than the liberal news and entertainment media, and the feminazis on DACOWITS who have used her to advance an agenda.

"These feminazis you so fervently fight against didn't materialize..."

Uh...Katie Commie, for one?

"...and the right that should have supported her, Freepers in particular, have been trashing her anyway, lest any woman in the military become respected."

Okay, I'll have to break this one down...
1) I don't know of anyone who's said she didn't do her duty. What many FReepers are upset about is how she's getting the SGT York treatment, when she did nothing other than get wounded and captured, then picked up at an unguarded hospital. Others, like Miller, went above and beyond the call of duty, and have not gotten nearly the recognition that Lynch has. Is that her fault? No...but by just smiling and quietly going along with the cult of personality that was built around her on false pretenses, she's giving her tacit approval to the lie.
2) Who doesn't want women in the Army to be respected? Just because I and any other American with a brain doesn't want women in combat arms MOSs, doesn't mean that we think women servicemembers shouldn't be respected. Really now...that's a helluva stretch.

"I have seen her badly used by the 'right' far more despicably than the Left."

By "the right", are you referring to talk radio, Fox News, WND, Newsmax, and other such center-right media, or just what you've read on FReep? I've not seen anything in the so-called "conservative" media that has trashed Lynch one bit. There have been calls for the truth to come out, calls for her to denounce the feminazi propoganda swirling around her story, etc. But I've not heard anywhere on "the right" where she's being called a coward, a shirker, or anything else that could reasonably be construed as "trashing" her.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
