From what we read here, the only solid source for PFC. Lynch's heroics is PFC. Lynch.

It's a nice story about a young lady who was probably raped and definitely tortured by her captors. I have no doubt that this Audie Murphy performance is exactly how she remembers the ambush. But this is a woman who hasn't eaten in 8 days and has suffered terrible physical abuse and likely suffers survivor guilt-- why is she alive and all of her comrades dead?

Maybe she did try to "fight to the death", more likely she didn't-- I'm not sure how well Army basic training prepares its future supply clerks and cooks for ambushes.

If anyone finds a witness to her account, please ping me.

Sure is nice of you to automatically assume her story isn't the truth with no more evidence to support that conclusion either.

Funny that the young American soldier is "More likely" to be lying than not. Why?

more likely she didn't

Why is it 'more likely she didn't' fight to the death, when several of her co-combatants were either killed outright or mortally wounded ? This scenario isn't enough of a motivation to fight to the death ?

She is sporting two broken legs, a broken arm, two gun shot wounds in her leg/s, and a stab wound. Somehow this indicates something other than a fight to the death ?

You said:

probably raped- (possibly)
definitely tortured- (confirmed)
Audie Murphy performance- (slam)
likely suffers survivor guilt- (possibly)
why is she alive and all of her comrades dead? (are they)

It's interesting that you were able to interpret all of this from the W Post article.

Yet, when faced with obvious physical evidence,

3 broken limbs
2 gunshot wounds
1 stab wound

Jessica's credibility is questioned ?

You said: I'm not sure how well Army basic training prepares its future supply clerks and cooks for ambushes.

My reply: Looks like the Army did one hell of a job preparing this soldier for ambushes.

Your reply is insulting in so many ways and at so many levels...

Your disrespect for this young lady's recollection of her ordeal doesn't deserve a ping- the very reason for the ping is insulting. An eyewitness ?

The mainstream media couldn't dismiss this soldier's conduct as well as you have.

According to the article this wasn't "her account."
