A group of people are busy trashing Jessica on another thread

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.

FYI the Pentagon is now refusing to comment on the "fighting to the death" story.

[Rivothead]

Actually there are some valid points there. Seems to me many here want to throw out praise without even knowing the full story. For all we know PFC Lynch made the call to turn left into hell and caused these deaths. I'm not saying this is the case but please sit back and let the dust settle. If nothing else this war has taught me to sit back and wait since it's all about competing news sources trying to break each story 1st and screwing up many of them.

Disgusting. Thank you illuminating the creeps.

I know everyone will flame, but the facts are that the GSWs and stab wound were false, there are NO witnesses to her firing to the last round (what weapon...200 rounds of 5.56 or 20 of 9mm...if that?)

Have to agree here.

[Eagle Eye]

I see that your opinion of "trashing" is anything that didn't lavish praise on her.
