I belive that Lynch's case is set to be politicized beyond what the poor woman knows at this point.
However, we need to remember LYNCH was a SUPPLY CLERK. That means she basically shuffled papers and stored things on shelves. Every troop, though, needs to know how to use their M-16. To her credit when the chips were down, apparently she shot at the bad guys. I'd hope my wife would do the same to protect her life.
We need to trumpet that she protected herself with a WEAPON and that makes it a gun issue proving NRAs position. Maybe they'll back off.
She took a beating, too, and survived. She gets my respect for that. It's just possible she's one of those gutsy girls that you wish your son would bring home.
