I can't disagree with anything they say, but we still need heroes, and I "felt" very proud of Lynch for the courage of all of our troops that she represented. She is a symbol of the many brave soldiers that never get any recognition. There's no harm in letting the myth survive and no good will come of a witch hunt to find someone to blame.

Yes there is harm in letting the myth go on. Great harm! Questions need to be answered concerning weapons maintenance, why a Capt. who cannot navigate properly was leading a convoy through Indian country, and why he left soldiers behind. This sorry ass excuse for an officer did not follow basic convoy procedures and got his people killed, and captured. Not getting rid of his trailers was inexcusable. If your convoy gets hit you sh@#t can the trailers and get the hell out of Dodge. This Capt.is an incompetant jackass. I have Lance Corporals that could do a better job as a convoy commander.

I'll have to disagree with you on that. If you don't recognize mistakes when they happen, there's a higher chance of reoccurance. It doesn't matter whose feelings are hurt, the truth needs to surface.

Couldn't have said it any better myself. Thank You bayourod.
