Lynch Bashers: bash this. I'm sure you'll find a way.

Are we Lynch bashers because we don't buy into the heroine BS. They perpetuated a lie and continue to do so.

Is being pinned under a truck a new definition of a hero/heroine?

One REAL hero is that young LT who orderd his men to point their weapons to the ground to assure an angry crowd the soldiers had no intention of destroying their Mosque. Of course, this was a guy and what the libs/feminists needed was a female heroine. The only problem is they forgot to include the doctors in their fabricated story of her being shot/knifed. Time to put this story to sleep. We have heroes dying every day in Iraq to whom we should give the honor of calling THEM heroes.

Flame away.

You still don't get it, do you?

I don't recall seeing much in the way of Lynch bashing as much as I saw one group swallow a fabricated story designed to give the media and folks back home a hero and another group that didn't believe the story and questioned the merits of the awards.

Not long ago I saw a major get a bronze star for his work as a contracting officer. He may have been better than soap on a rope, but gimme a break!

It ain't about the woman, it's about the fabrications to manufacture a hero.

I certainly hope she has a nice life because she's certainly earned it and gone through much that most will never imagine.

But this would all be a non story if it were "James" Lynch whose unit was lost, ambushed, wounded, captured and rescued.

Not surprised about the foundation. something was mentioned about it in Publisher's Weekly when Lynch's book deal was first announced, but this article goes into more detail.

I'm not a Lynch-basher. I think anyone, including her, who serves our country is heroic.

However, the comments I have heard from the staff at Walter Reed about this young soldier's countenance and manners does not square with the image portrayed in the media.

Jessica did nothing but find herself in the wrong place at the wrong time. She was nothing more than a convenient piece of misleading propaganda and shouldn't make one red cent from this tragedy.

She was barely out of the hospital when she was talking about a book deal. What kind of reverence is that? Yes, Jessica is white trash.

I'll bet nobody from the oddly obsessive Jessica "fan club" could name the soldier that died saving her life. For some reason he doesn't matter to them.

Jessica fans have their priorities are shoved in their a$$es.....sideways.

Oh please! Easy on the pseudo-hero worship crap.

Any nation that puts women in combat situations isn't worth defending.

Miss Lynch was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time, but was placed there for political correctness. Everyone, by now, should get it that what the political correctness class wants are HEROines, not heroes!

Medals have become meaningless in non-combat situations. I once got a medal and a parade for revamping a filing system.

Piestewa was the mother of two small children.

....and furthermore, Mile Mark, I'm sorry two children don't have a mother, but what kind of mother would leave her kids with someone else and tramp around Iraq where bullets are flying?

This falling into the Political Correctness trap is just sickening.

I was never a Lynch basher, but after reading this a.m. that she was too busy with her book committments to meet with the Iraqui doctor who risked his life to help get her out of the hospital--when he was in her home town!--my opinion of her has changed. I'm ashamed of her.
