Nowhere have I claimed Lynch killed nine Iraqis.
I didn't get any pleasure out of doing that, but when I read about all those men who died in her unit and group during that battle and role she played in their deaths, I had to set the record straight.
She played no role in their deaths. Nothing you say can be verified in the report.
She's NO HERO! Half the men in that group would likely still be alive today if she hadn't screwed up that vehicle they were towing.
You're making things up again.
All through that fight they needed her support, and she had access to both Piestawa's weapon and the another automatic weapon that was in the vehicle.
Miller couldn't get those weapons out while Lynch was still unconscious. How was she supposed to with her injuries?
First sergeant Dowdy went after every troop who became disengaged from his vehicle during this battle, risking his life time and time again to make these combat pickups. He needed Jessie to give him some cover and lay down some fire, but she wouldn't fight.
You're making things up again.
I know you feel betrayed. You were captivated by the first reports of her heroism, and it's hard to let that go.
Nope, not at all. If you can find where I said anything of the sort, I'd like to see it. I didn't post on these threads until the bashing started. You're making things up again.
You were duped, but that's not you fault, and it's now time to move on.
Nope. I had no investment in this until the bashing started. Since then I've been supporting our troops like I do on almost every thread I see that attacks our troops.
It's too late for First sergeant Dowdy, Buggs, Aquiano, Walters, and the others that died during that battle, but we need people, people like yourself, to stop tacitly supporting policies that put pretenders like Lynch in military positions that harm themselves and others that depend on them.
I think putting women in less-demanding jobs frees up a better choice of men for the infantry and saves lives in the long run.
If Lynch really has any sense of duty, she'll give up that medal and admit she shouldn't have been there.
Do you think that everyone who has received the Bronze Star for going through less than what Lynch went through should turn them in?
You're making things up again.

... You're making things up again.
Did you forget who you were addressing in your post? You were supposed to be replying to my post, not posting to yourself. I'm not going to post the link again to the fictitious, can't-be-found-in OFFICIAL REPORT. If you've read that report and still have the conclusions you have, you are in denial, or you have some other agenda. Jessica was nothing more than a little hot-bottom girl who joined the military to have some "fun."
