If you read the official report, you will find that it says nothing about her "... getting the hell beat out of her ..." Besides the rape wounds, the report clearly states she was injured in the crash.
Thanks for the links to story about the enlisted women vs. officers. This is what I've been trying to get people to realize. It takes a real man, or person for that matter, about a half of a second to look at Jessie and figure out what she's best suited for: a Girl Scout troop leader, a teacher...a nurse, but NOT a SOLDIER. Our society is better served if this woman is a wife and mother, and it is troubling and shameful to put such a woman on a battlefield. I'm not PC, so I don't care about trying to advance the careers of feminist officers.
Here is an excerpt from the article we are discussing that states they cannot state with certainty how she sustained the injuries:
The scars on Lynch's battered body and the medical records indicate she was anally raped, and "fill in the blanks of what Jessi lived through on the morning of March 23, 2003," Bragg wrote.
"The records do not tell whether her captors assaulted her almost lifeless, broken body after she was lifted from the wreckage, or if they assaulted her and then broke her bones into splinters until she was almost dead."
