(AP) - The father of rescued POW Army Pfc. Jessica Lynch said Thursday that she was in great spirits following her first surgery and denied reports she was shot and stabbed during her captivity in Iraq.

"We have heard and seen reports that she had multiple gunshot wounds and a knife stabbing. The doctor has not seen any of this," Gregory Lynch Sr. said.

Wait a minute ! ... the Washington comPost along with ~~ballbusting~~ feminists almost had the story as Pfc. Lynch singlehandedly taking out a machinegun nest with a penknife !

I'm pleased Pfc. Lynch is safe and sound. I'm more than happy we're kickin' major Iraqi ass. However, I refuse to be suckered into buying into the myth that women belong on the front lines in the military. Women perform splendidly in other roles. Humpin' a mortar in sand is not one of those roles. Expending a batallion of Marines as a decoy and sending in a full SEAL team and a full Army CAG team to save one female Pfc. is not a wise expenditure of limited resources in a battle theatre. Arguing otherwise seems foolish.

". Expending a batallion of Marines as a decoy and sending in a full SEAL team and a full Army CAG team to save one female Pfc. "

They do it all the time for male PFCs as well. Is that different? We go after our POWs. I wouldn't have it any other way.

Hey, you forgot to throw in your dig from the other thread about her being white as the reason for her being saved.

I hear you there, brother, but I'm still hoping like hell that PFC Lynch took some of those dogs out, and I think it kicks ass that we went in there and got her, and you can call me a male chauvinist pig, but I hope they went in after her first and with the most determination, and I'm (sniff, sniff) just so damn proud (sniff) to be an American.

And, I want to go to "The Bash"
