Amen. And take back that Bronze Star while we're at it.

At least give it to those who rightly deserve it

Private Lynch earned her Bronze Star in her own right. Don't blame Private Lynch if the press and some PR types decided to make her a celebrity.

It subsequently emerged, however, that the young soldier's rifle had jammed and her injuries were caused by her lorry colliding with another vehicle as the convoy came under attack.

She joined the military. She went to war when the time came. She went into the field of battle. She intended to return fire. And if she had not been stopped from doing so by an accident that was not her fault, she probably would have been killed in the firefight.

Sgt. Walters should be recognized for his bravery, but to use his courage as a pretext to take something away from Jessica Lynch strikes me as something that only a real loser would conceive of doing.

Based on this response, I would have no idea why anyone would have anything in for you. /sarcasm
