What I'm saying is Jessica lynch has recieved more praise than the other POW's. That people like Sgt. Walter who went down fighting as the RM's and USMC platoons that fought to the death in Nassariyah. That since 9/11 we've seen herioc's like seen in the case of Neil Roberts who fought enemy troops in Afgahnistan with his bare hands until he was finally killed while Generals in comfortable chairs watched from flat screens the whole sceen from an unmanned drone.
See TK4from New Mexco, I was a Sgt. and served in theaters such as Rwanda, Gabon, The Middle East, DiJibouti and the Pacific. I've been BTDT got the t-shirt and sold it in a garage sale. I can easily from an ex-military mans point of view discearn the facts from a highly emotionally charged event and make a clear assimilation of those facts that paint a realistic picture of the reality of the situation.
Number one every conflict needs a positive face, Jessica is that face. A cute petite blond who is so fragile she sustained multiple fractures from a 35 mph collision in a hummer. I've rolled one and my 200 lb 6ft. 3 frame of twisted steel and sex appeal walked away with out a scratch. Anyway Jessica, the cute little red neck girl from the trailer next door from cousin funk West Virginia fall from the hummer. She isn't shot, stabbed or even awake during the fire fight. The 507th that isn't bumper locked retreates with all crew served weapons leaving the survivors stranded and alone. Panic sets in as the Iraqi militia made up of Iraqi hill billies stupidly shoot from both sides of the road. The unit recieves more casualties, even though the ambush is made of amatures with ignorant cross fire tactics they paralize our troops who btw haven't cleaned their weapons in days(Standard in the support units). They can't return fire, and their comrads have left them. As this continues Jessica is napping in a ditch. The Sgt. in charge surrenders his crew. Mean while Sgt. Walter is hiding in the wheel well of a tractor trailer, he see's probably a few double taps in the wounded and figures if he surrenders he's going to be executed. He remembers his oath that people like Jessica just mumbled to get some college money and he decides to bayont charge, he is shot and bayoneted. As Iraqi troops arive they stop the militias abuse of the survivors. Babay Jessica and Pastewa are found amongst the wreckage unconscious and taken to the hospital where Pastewa dies of internal hemorahges. The Pentegon panics due to the fact the women in combat are good to go myth is about to be hung out to dry, they scramble for damage control. Informants who have been on a certian govt. payroll give their handlers info on her local. Mean while our hero sit's in a hospital on a comfortable bed, not a concrete slab, no torture chamber like POW's past, refusing to eat except for orange juice her doctors risked their balls to get for her. She was hidden from the Fedeyeem by hospital staff and when it was safe the whole Spec Ops command rushed in and filmed Jessica Lynch The Movie and wisked her away. The pictures hit the news and America sighs in relief, Bush's war and personal ratings sky rocket, America feels better about dropping MOAB's on little 4 year old Mohammed and we all sit around the fire singing Kumbahya. Mean while Jessica is operated on, briefed and debriefed on what she is and isn't to say. The Pentegon in exchange for her silence gets her some book and movie deals, has a quaint arbitrary Bronze star presentation and she gets amnesia, goes back to cousin funk and buys daddy a new Hank Williams CD and installs indoor plumbing for her dirt poor family. So destitude they allow their daughter to serve in the Army. Point to that is that the poor are easily bought.
Fact is she did nothing, and continues to do nothing. When you live in the public eye you owe the public some answer's. Like she should clear up the situation with a statement of her own words.
I'm glad I'm not in anymore. I was asked recently to come back in as an officer since completing my degree, I told the Army I refuse to serve in a military that allows women to serve in combat roles. She is being used and allowing herself to be used to gain personal advantages and allowing her image to be sold for political gains. Something as I remember we old soldiers swore to never do.
It is all politics.
I also don’t care if I’m called a raciest, this is, my country and if I want to fly my flag then I will. The pc and ethnic minority crowd can moan and complain all they want, it just means ill fly it higher...
