This may sound odd but didn't the female POW from Gulf 1 also have two broken arms?

I believe so as well as being raped.

I remember reading that she broke her arms when the helicopter crashed, but I could be wrong.

She broke her arms in the helicopter crash.
She was "fondled" in her words, on the way to the prison she was held in. She was criticized by some for not revealing this for several months, but most of her public comments indicate she didn't reveal it because she didn't think it was that big of a deal. She also indicated that her injuries were treated appropriately by Iraqi physicians, and in fact, that they (the Iraqi physicians) treated her with some respect when they found out the she was a physician.
Her name is Rhonda Cornum, if you google her name you can find all of this.
I've met her, she is "poster child" all-military.
The facts are good enough, all our sevice men and women deserve our thanks and respect.

You seem to want to know if Pfc. Lynch was raped. I wonder why that is.

What ever is wrong with you?? If many people need an event to rally around in time of war, what's it to you? What is the harm, given that the truth eventually be known -- or not?

After all is said and done, it is an indisputable fact that she was in a combat environment, was wounded there, and was rescued from captivity by several other brave warriors who cared enough to put their lives on the line for one of their own. I repeat, one of their own -- and one of our own as well..........
