**Shoshana Johnson was one of the 507th’s prisoners. But while Lynch is being given 80 percent disability pay, Johnson is getting only 30 percent. It’s a difference of $600 or more a month. Shoshana’s mother, Eunice, has told reporters her daughter has had a hard time. “She gets depressed,” she said. “Her mental state is not what it used to be. She has a lot of medical appointments.” **

I'd appreciate knowing the extent of Johnson's disability. I know her ankle was hurt somehow...bullet wound? Is she now able to walk..carry on light duty? Or is surgery necessary to help in her recovery.

Shoshana was shot in both ankles. This part of the story was on Fox a couple of weeks ago.

Disability payments are not determined by anything other than what residual damage you have.

For example, a fractured femur (thigh bone) will cause much pain and suffering but, if properly treated, will cause no long term disability. The servicemember suffering a fractured femur from enemy action will therefore get a Purple Heart but zero disability.

Disability formulas are established and different injuries will result in different disability calculations.

The news media knows this. Yet, it does not fit into their agenda to explain it to the American home front.

There are four groups that can cause America to lose this war by totally demoralizing the American home front: The Democrasts, the Liberal news media, the Batthist dead-enders and Islamist fanaticts.

The first two groups are the ones that are demonstrating the most ability to accomplish their goal of an American defeat in Iraq.
