Even though I agree with the writer's last paragraph, the article is offensive.

Jessica Lynch is a heroine. Wonder if this writer would have done the same thing she did. 'Pod

What did Jessica do to become a Hero? She was doing her job! What was beyond the call of duty that requires her heroine status? Heros get the Medal of Honor

The last paragraph says that women should not be "frontline soldiers." She was not a frontline soldier, she was in a Maintenance unit that took a wrong turn. The US military does not allow women to serve in frontline ground combat units.

Besides being offensive and insulting, this article is full of falsehoods and false assumptions. The writer asks loaded questions, then makes up the answers from his own demented imagination.
