That's b.s., she never asked for the propaganda and promotion, and if she decided to play the game and live the lie she could have made out far better. She was lying on a hospital bed in Germany, broken, battered and paralysed, while all this "Hero" $hit was coming down back home without her knowledge.
She doesn't want to live her life in a lie or in a false state of adulation for something she didn't do. This is a remarkably mature and humble young lady. And she isn't trashing the Army, she's trashing ALL the idiots out there who wanted to make something out of nothing, and turn her into a feminist icon. She just wants to tell the truth and be herself; she obviously has a strong moral code that has been lost on most Americans of this generation. Jessica Lynch is just a kid who is being grabbed at from all sides of our greedy society, by everyone who wants to USE her for their own selfish purposes. She is showing me that her faith and personal integrity are stronger than the jerks who want to either immortalize or destroy her. JESSICA LYNCH HAS WON MY RESPECT.
Then I guess that makes up for her losing mine.
