A family member of one of the soldiers killed during the Iraq war ambush in which Pfc. Jessica Lynch was captured is frustrated about an official Army report due to be released today.
The document, first reported in The Washington Times yesterday, rebutts early press accounts about the March 23 incident in which Pfc. Lynch and other members of the 507th Maintenance Company were ambushed by Iraqi forces.

In 1991 or so, the Army DCSPER, Lieutenant General Reno was quietly retired for soft-pedalling the fratricide deaths in Desert Storm.
I think this PVT Lynch misinformation story is going to bring some more heads to roll. It won't make the news either.

Pace man screwed the pooch on this sled dog op.........yer other right Calhoon ! I can understand the parents wanting answers and I hope the DOA can fess up. I'd expect the survivors to visit the dead troops parents and spouses and give them the real scoop as they experienced it.
It wasn't like this was a snoop and poop secret squirrel op and lies have to be told to cover the mission. They were vehicle repair troops dang it .
Just my opinion of course............Stay Safe Fred !

"Don't tell me those soldiers did not properly take care of their guns. I don't want to hear that," You don't want to hear it, but it's probably true.
WTF is up with the spaghetti?
