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.
49 was not a well worded post, I meant to emphasize that the media, by confusing Lynch with the heroics of the blond headed Walters went into a feeding frenzy that could have happened to Johnson, if they had confused her with a male soldier that had fought so heroically and long, even unto hand to hand combat.
I was trying to say that it may not have had to be a cute white girl, but a female of any type or race that was thought to have done what they thought Lynch had done that day.
Still sucks for Walters though.
