Jessica's dad said yesterday that she was tough. He attributed a lot of it to being raised in the country and having an older brother. I guess he was right.

"She wants to become a teacher, and we are going to see that she becomes one,"

I suspect she will become a very good one..............

"She's real spirited. She hasn't eaten in eight days and she's hungry," said her father, Greg Lynch. "She wants some food."

I keep hearing this - even talking to her parents this is reported to be her words.
We don't know the extent of her wounds -could be stomach or intestine related so they won' let her have solid food... otherwise I would think they' be feeding the hell out of her to get hre back to health.

Her fellow teachers will be her new enemy. I'm sure they will keep it to themselves, out of fear she'd neutralize them.

Nothing would scare the teachers unions more than a female gradeschool teacher with a kill record and survival skills.

God bless her and her well based family.

"She was fighting to the death," the Washington Post quoted an official as saying. "She did not want to be taken alive."


One hell of a soldier!

"She's real spirited. She hasn't eaten in eight days and she's hungry," said her father, Greg Lynch. "She wants some food."

Wow, I've heard and not stated an opinion on women on the front lines, but with a soldier like this who is fighting to the death and then survives with serious injuries for EIGHT days with little or no food. This is one hell of a lady and soldier. Bet she took out some Iraqi combatants while she sustained her own injuries.
What do you all think? I think the broken bones were post capture and inflicted as a torture method.
