The thing is that none of the women did anything special, but if you read post 26, then you can see that it was thought that Jessica Lynch had made a heroic fight, which would have made her one of the great female combatants in history, that would have created the media frenzy, not the fact that she was a cute, white girl that was only injured and captured, the same as Johnson was.
This entire incident was a great humiliation and a terrible insult to the men that fought bravely that day.
Why don’t you shut the hell up.
I agree that it was an insult to our brave military personnel. It isn’t the first insult they’ve gotten from inaccurate reporting, or being ignored by the media. It won’t be the last.
Many in the news business these days are interested in their story rather than an accurate journal of events.
The impression I got from much of what I’ve read here is that Johnson and others were frustrated by that, as well as the fact that Lynch was receiving credit that rightfully belonged to others. Perhaps it was particularly frustrating to them because they had tried to correct the inaccuracies to no avail.
I think I’ll wait for more info about Johnson’s book than what I got from this article to form an opinion about her and/or the book.
