The more interesting book would be the next 10 years of Jessica Lynch's life.

I am really tired of Jessica Lynch. Sorry but there are folks still fighting over there while she's here trying to "clear things up." The newscycle on this has hit the limit.

Oooh spin us round again.

This wins the award for the most abbreviated summary of all the crap in one article.

Hey, if she can make money out of this deal, then good for her. Probably just because she is the "cute blonde" who got captured - not fair to the rest of the troups? Of course not, but if she is telling the truth and gives credit where credit is due, then more power to her. That's just the way it goes. Life isn't fair.

The US Army with its upside down priorities is to blame -- political correctness regarding women in the service (Army folded to Clinton team while USMC did not), maximizing exposure for victims like Lynch at the expense of heroes who fought the enemy, and then even being totally unfair to other Army victims because they don't have the media attention that Lynch does. Result -- black eye (again) for the US Army.

How do you veterans feel?

[PISANO]

I HONOR the (WWII) vets who if they appear on TV do so almost always as part of a documentary. All of my relatives who served in WWII spoke infrequently about their experiences and only when begged to relate. I and my fellow Vietnam Vets (that I know) seldom speak of our experiences. Silence is golden. It seems modern day warriors now want their 15 minutes, I don't understand it, but of course, it is their right.
