I guess you don't agree that the press is liberal.
What is your goal, your purpose? To elicit praise for Jessica? I think Jessica has a tremendous spirit, but if we just praise her spirit and bravery while carrying on and changing nothing, more troops will suffer like she did. If you know about the weapons failures, et. al. fine. I have no beef with you.
Of course most of the bashers wanted her court-martialled since her weapon jammed.
But please remember, bashing Lynch's superiors is not bashing Lynch. Bashing her circumstances, is not bashing lynch.
Yeah, I went back over your posts and you're not really a basher. I had assumed you were since Chief Joe was trying to blame her for her vehicle breaking down and he said that because of Lynch, several people died (that was definitely bashing and if you agree with him on this I'll go back to considering you a basher), and you criticized me for my views on power steering in that argument. Then you immediately said they kept their weapons class 4 or something. It seemed you were focussing on the negative. I would've thought that if you were really interested in truth that you would've found fault with Chief Joe blaming her for many deaths on no evidence but instead you found fault with me on some obscure post on power-steering. I judge people by their priorities.
Jessica Lynch's humvee got hit by an RPG, and crashed into another vehicle. Everybody else in her vehicle died. She suffered massive injuries to her legs and back. She tried to fire her m16, but was unable to do so. She prayed, and in excruciating pain, she blacked out. She woke up in the hospital, and was treated adequately while she was conscious. She was rescued.
That is the only facts we have. She does not recall being raped, but the medical report says she was. She does not recall meeting the Iraqi lawyer. He says he witnessed her being abused. Everything else is FUD.
She very well could have been tortured and raped while passed out, put on opiates for the pain. This Iraqi lawyer got a book deal, and a movie deal out of his connection to her, but she didn't remember ever seeing him. She could have been suffering PTSD and blacked it out, or he could be lying. I doubt we will ever know the truth of what happened.
