The US army is amazing. apparently for the rescue of pvt Lynch they modified a Blackhawk with an aft ramp and a second main rotor on the tail. Or could it be that the press is a little confused?


Oh, sorry. Another dumb question.

And did it with duct-dape.

LOL, the media is made up of not-so-bright people, who have an agenda.

One of the hosts of a radio show (Rick & Bubba out of Birmingham, AL) described to his co-host some of the details of Pvt. Lynch's capture. He mentioned that she shot several Iraqi's, continued firing until she was out of ammo, and then got into a wrestling match with the enemy resulting in stab wounds. He painted a picture of a WV wildcat, it was great. He concluded by saying these heroics were performed by a 19 year old Marine supply clerk. It reminded me of the movie Under Siege when the Playboy playmate was told by Segal that he was just a cook.

Pvt. Lynch is a true American hero.
