One more suggestion about giving her the medal of honor, or renaming Baghdad International, to Jessica International, I going to gag.....
===============================
I think the Medal of Honor is pushing it. I went to the Military web site which describes all available medals and the requirements for each. I believe a Silver Star is about the highest merited unless there are other facts not yet published. Almost certainly she deserves a Bronze Star.

Gotta dusagree here. She is entitled to a Purple Heart, most likely (though she was NOT stabbed, shot, etc.!) and the POW medal. Why a Star at all? No one witnessed any of the media hype and I seriously question that "fired all of her ammo killing numerous Iraqi soldiers"...let's get this into perspective...many, many of our Nam POWs came back after injuries at the hands of captors and received a PH and POW medal...Lynch is no super hero.
