I really don't think this is a 'feminist' issue for Jessica Lynch. Her family was interviewed extensively by the local Pittsburgh media today. This didn't have an agenda, she came from a lower middle class background and saw the Army as a way to earn her college tuition. There are alot of kids who do that...the economy here in the rust belt isn't what it used to be. My oldest is a college freshman, and my next one is a HS senior this year...I can think of a dozen or so young men and women in each of their classes who went into the military for their further education (let's face it...the US gov't advertises enlisting as a way to earn college cash).
