Many weapons jammed that day, plus she had injuries from the wreck...

If she had wreck injuries then she probably couldn't move around very well. Plus I believe it was Miller that said he couldn't get Dowdy's weapon out of the front of the Humvee. Maybe Piestewas was buried also...

If she couldn't move around then she couldn't get a weapon. If by the time she came to that her Humvee was surrounded then maybe she was pinned by enemy fire or the situation was hopeless for to try and get another weapon if she could move at all...

Remember that report I was telling you about: http://www.army.mil/features/507thMaintCmpy/? If you actually ever decide to read it, you will find that the accident Jessie was involved in occurred at the end of the ambush battle: TWO HOURS after it began. She had her head buried between her knees this whole time while her fellow soldiers were fighting for their lives. She's not  a hero. I don't blame her for failing out there. She should have never been put in that situation, and the best we can do now is try to prevent other soldiers from loosing their lives because of weak links like her.

Buggs and Aquino were with her the whole time, why didn't they do anything then? Miller fought after the Lynch Humvee crashed, why didn't he do anything before that? Your logic is senseless.
