I don't expect Jessica Lynch to know how to diplomatically handle any of this. I hope no one does.

She is a survivor of a nightmare. Then she comes back to the USA to be confronted with bizzarro world Media accounts.

I think this is whole thing is sad.

Stop by to learn more about and support Lt. Col. Allen B. West I spoke to him last night and his lawyer will be sending more information that will soon be posted.

I agree with post 42 on the Jessica Lynch story. She has gone through way too much to expect her to be able to handle the media manipulation. I wish she and her family had shut the door on ABC, but someone dangled that book $ and it was hard to pass on.

Sgt. York of WWI handled it better, but he was age 29 and not severely wounded. Plus, there wasn't the circus of TV and media back then. Audie Murphy did some movies. I can't figure how he relived the hell he had experienced, considering he had what we would now call post traumatic stress disorder. He slept with a loaded .45 for years and had a lot of emotional ups and downs. Living after being named a hero is no picnic.

Thank you. Your comment is right on the money. She's not emotionally disturbed, I expect she's angry as hell. I don't blame her. She's tried to do the right thing all down the line and gotten nothing but hell for it.
