“... either that she couldn’t fight or whether captors proceeded to do..”
Absolutely... if I remember correctly, at the time of this incident... it was very hush-hush. She did have bullet wounds, she didn’t have bullet wounds, she was molested, she wasn’t molested. I think only later did it surface that she was sodomized and her bones were broken for “fun”. I don’t even remember a lot of info on Lori Piestewa... her best friend that was killed at the time Lynch was captured. Nothing has ever been stated about the 11 bodies from her unit and simply “details of their deaths are unclear”.

Yes, I believe she was a Native American. I thought I’d read that more than 100 women had been killed in combat since 9/11; I know that they’d reached 50 by 2006.
I think they’ll always have new recruits as long as the economy is horrible; I don’t think they have enough that “believe in the mission” anymore, so they have to lower the bar in many areas to keep up the numbers.
