"Everyone knew what Saddam's soldiers did to women captives," Bragg wrote. "In (Lynch's) worst nightmares, she stood alone in that desert as the trucks of her own army pulled away."

What is that suppose to mean?

Come to think about it .. there are a few other sentences that do not make sense

In other words, she had that nightmare, being stranded in Iraq, before the war started. You have to reread it to see what the writer is getting at. The article does a poor job of excerpting.

Most of what this article says about the ambiguity in how she sustained her injuries is BS. The official report unequivocally states she received these injuries, other then those from the rape, from the crash she in which she was involved. She was also knocked unconscious in this crash. It's sad to hear what happened to her afterwards, but it's clear to me from the article they're putting in this ambiguity to play up her "heroism" angle.
