What an immflammatory and FALSE statment, and I DARE you to back it up.
What you have on another thread is people debating what is 'heroic' vs what is expected or admirable as well as some debating whether or not women now belong in combat units.
In the entire thread, I do not recall anyone saying anything less than respectful towards PFC Lynch.
One of the biggest problems on FR is the inability of some people to disagree without trashing others and making false statements. Disgreeing about 'hero' status isn't the same as "trashing".
Ah, you don't recall the one calling her a "little girl" who was "whimpering and crying?"
What an immflammatory and FALSE statment, and I DARE you to back it up.
The ambushed soldiers were taken by suprise by the Iraqis and it was over quick so its hard to belive this story.

How many enemy did she kill? How many rounds did she discharge? This story is bull--fertilizer

The initial reports on the ambush would make this story a lie--or a gross exaggeration-or the first ambush reports were wrong
and it was a sustained fire fight-but I doubt that.

But she's no heroine to me. She's a little girl that shouldn't have been there.

This was a little girl who belonged at home with her Daddy

From what we read here, the only solid source for PFC. Lynch's heroics is PFC. Lynch.
Maybe she did try to "fight to the death", more likely she didn't--

you don't know that she wasn't the fool that got them lost in the first place.

I gotta agree with Destro on this. Story is too pat and everyone wants to believe it. It just doesn't ring true.

I didn't realize that this thread was here simply to fling flowers of worship upon a poor soul whose main accomplishment was getting lost.
