"PFC Lynch was a rear echelon support clerk. How she ended up driving a water truck needs to be questioned."

Easy answer...they needed someone to drive the damned truck. EVERYBODY gets a drivers license to operate virtually every vehicle in a unit for EXACTLY this circumstance. You must be a union member to think that someone in the military only does one job. They'll do what it takes to GET THE MISSION ACCOMPLSHED!

No, my friend, I am not "union"...I served 27 years, have two Purple Hearts and can assure you that using a file clerk to drive a water truck (an the rest were also folks who's MOS did not include driving trucks as a primary) simply means that our forces are stretched too far!

Not to discredit Lynch, but the media spin and the haphazard accounts by senior military are questionable.
