Since Private Lynch, who admitted that she cowered down weeping and screaming and never fired a shot, while wreaking havoc inside of the Humvee and with the sergeant in the passenger seat, and she was awarded the Bronze Star for her combat heroism.

"Since Private Lynch, who admitted that she cowered down weeping and screaming and never fired a shot, while wreaking havoc inside of the Humvee and with the sergeant in the passenger seat, and she was awarded the Bronze Star for her combat heroism."

That always pissed me off. From what I read, there was a black woman who actually shot back but given no recognition. Sheesh, being in the wrong place at the wrong time and doing nothing and later found in a hospital makes someone a hero?

However, will give her credit for denying the heroism. Still, the brass gave her a Bronze Star just for getting blown up and captured. That medal used to mean more.
