In the days following the elaborately staged rescue of Pte Lynch from her hospital ward on April 1, a blizzard of American media reports told how the soldier had exhausted all her ammunition before capture, in an isolated and brave "fight to the death". I'd like to see some accurate reporting for a change.

"elaborately staged rescue"

Yeah like this is accurate reporting.

First if all it was a raid that was filmed. It was edited by the DOD and parts released. You just don't show the world how you do things. But the raid was not staged.

First off FOX NEWS interviewed a black SSGT with the 507th, he was in the Hospital bed. He stressed they were not lost. They did not make any wrong turns. They were following an Armored column. As Germans did in WWII as N. Koreans and as NV regulars and VC's did, you wait to ambush the support and supply. You slip in and re-mine areas behind the engineers clearing a path and marking that path. Most military vehicles now have GPS. And that is DOD GPS more accurate than what is on the open market.

I don't believe in the "lost" convoy or the "wrong" turn. I believe a recovering SSGT.
