"I think we all know her story. PFC Lynch was in a convoy that was taken on the wrong route by the company commander and encountered an enemy force. She was a passenger in the 1SG's HMMWV when it crashed and she was injured pretty early on in the engagement. Then she was captured and taken to the hospital where she remained until the raid that rescued her. And all she would have seen of that is the guys that found her, put her on a stretcher and then hauled her away. There's just not much more to it."

EXACTLY!!! And, where does the BS (with "V") come intoplay? Where does the POW Medal fit?

Lynch was on a FUBAR patrol, led by the unqualified and composed of poorly trained and disciplined troops who were REMFs, had only 48 hours before been issued weapons (which they didn't maintain...how many of the 3rd MARDIV's M-16s "jammed"?), and the story was bogus from the gitgo (one bullet wound, then two, then two plus a stab wound, then another stab wound, "firing until her ammo was expended"...) Gimme a break!

Lynch then goes on to say, "Duh...I don't remember".

Three MONTHS in the hospital? I caught a .30 cal in the right hand anf forearm, was evac'd to Japan, operated on, recovered, and was back IN MY UNIT within seven weeks!

Wake up, sheeple...you are being fed 100%, pure, full strength bovine manuer!

You state in your profile that you are a "disabled" veteran. What is the nature of your disability?

Pfc Lynch survived a violent vehicle wreck that killed two or three others in the vehicle. Her injuries are authentic and horrific.

**Three MONTHS in the hospital? I caught a .30 cal in the right hand anf forearm, was evac'd to Japan, operated on, recovered, and was back IN MY UNIT within seven weeks! **

She had 3 major spine surgeries..along with surgery for other wounds. So yes, 3 months in a hospital.

You caught a bullet, treated and released back into battle. If you had the injuries Pvt Lynch has you wouldn't have been able to do so.
