This is a thread about how Lynch was tortured by the enemy and you want to focus on the condition she kept her weapon, that's bashing in my book. And anyone else who is ignoring what the enemy did to her on this thread and are instead faulting her for this or that is bashing.
Almost all, if not all, of the other posters also did not say one ill word about Jessica.
Oh please. They ignore this article and go into the same nitpicking they've been doing since April.
She suffered more any any woman (or any man for that matter) should ever suffer.
You finally come around to saying that? How heartwarming.
People do criticize the brass and the system, and rightfully so.
Some do it all the time.
You have a very strange definition of bashing. Her capture certainly was preventable. What do you want me to do? Have a big giant cryfest about how awful it was? It was awful. But I look to see how to prevent this from happening in the future.
It's not nitpicking. Notice how the 3ID or the 1MEF didn't have this sort of Charlie Foxtrot? Did the lone officer and senior NCOs know the tactical dangers of entering the town, not once, but twice?
