I'm glad you posted this. The article clearly says it is the fault of the Washington Post.As much as I hate the Washington Post, this is an understandable mistake. If there was a blond from another vehicle fighting hard next to Jessica's Humvee in the fog of battle as relayed by radio chatter, it's easy to see why he as Jessica were mixed up.

I saw this on the CBS Evening News one night.
These parents are despicable.

As much as I hate the Washington Post, this is an understandable mistake. Still their fault. They have a 100% liability to verify all facts they represent as truth.

The "myth" is only being caused by some greedy parents who want to steal her glory.
They are scum.

Of all the posts I have seen on the Award/Lynch subject, I like your the best.
To: Prodigal Son
Still their fault. They have a 100% liability to verify all facts they represent as truth.The ambush was a big story. I don't fault them for reporting what they thought they knew. The alternative was to remain silent. Maybe some would prefer them to remain silent, but I prefer to know what they think they know.

Honoring their son is not despicable.
Dishonoring Lynch IS.

The Walter's want to steal Lynch's glory??? What is her glory! She did nothing glorious! Sgt. Walters fought to the death and his parents are "despicable" for wanting the world to know that???
Do you see now why such things matter, Prodigal Son???

How many book/movie/chat show/interview deals has she signed up for and has she got an agent? Here is where speculating puts the cart before the horse. Chief Moose (DC) did this and it the facts are laid out. We have not heard of such a deal. Does the media want to make such a deal with Pvt.Lynch? Of course. I wouldn't put it past the vultures to be bugging her and her family while she has been recovering from her wounds and trauma.
I don't see why some people on these threads need to act like vultures, too.
