Agent Orange, Gulf War Syndrome, Groom Lake, Desert One, The MV-22, The Bradley fighting Vehicle, $800 toilets seats, "official" reports often lie to cover up what the government doesn't want to tell us.

If you include all the above as examples of cover-ups by the guv'mint, it becomes obvious why you believe there must be one for PFC Lynch.

I never said the government was good at covering up it's mistakes.

I see The whole Lynch debate as a distraction from some real issues, The utter collapse, chaos, and cowardice That occured during the ambush on the 507th. Clearly the commander was at fault yet according to the report, no one could be blamed for poor navigation, lack of communication, poor fuel manangment, and if the report is to be believed the absolutely shamefull condition their weapons were in, or the fact that they ran and were "ordered" to run.

Why was there no real attempt to rescue or recover those the escaping members left behind to be killed or captured?

And there is still the unanswered question about the wounds shown in the video, were members of the 507th executed after being captured? The "official" report says nothing about how those soldiers were killed?

So while we argue about weather or not PFC Lynch deserves anything, or weather or not women have a place in the military much less combat, some very important issues remain ignored in the "official" report.
