its become quite obvious that the brass at the pentagon is extremely apathetic when it comes to soldiers in combat. this is a minor issue though. they have put out equipment that could potentially cost the lives of soldiers, such as the m16 rifle and the bradley fighting vehicle, and the sherman tank. all of these had to be overhauled just to be worthy of combat. not to mention if it gets made they get promoted. whether or not if it saves lives.

She claimed she didnt even fire a shot, but story goes she battled her way through her ambush and got shot. She didnt get shot. They claimed she got raped, she didnt get raped.
But people say the way they went into the hospital was unneeded. Not really. someone probably tipped them off saying her location and the situation, but the situation can always change and you never know if hte informant is telling the truth. Why walk in and take a much greater chance of geting killed then storming in with force?Dub V

"Family spokesman Stephen Goodwin acknowledged that the book discusses the sexual assault [rape]."
It's also interesting to see the liberal biasing in the headline of the article. They take just a small snippet of the full quote: Lynch- "They used me as a way to symbolize all this stuff."
Granted I agree that things went overboard with the whole publication of the things, but twisting quotes for "soundbites" to push an agenda has always been irksome to me.

Where's Shoshana's rewards/awards? She actually fired back, likely has a kill ratio, actually got shot, actually was taken to a POW camp/location, actually was mistreated...and actually didn't get any interviews or parades or book deals or movie deals or TV deals. However, like a real trooper, she sucked it up and drove on. When the Army decided her real actual combat wounds didn't warrant more than 30% disability, even though she will never walk without a limp or pain again, she became upset ONLY after learning the cute little girl will be getting an 80% disability for injuries that are totally recoverable.
Ever wonder why the shot down Apache of the two captured pilots looked in pretty good shape? Because they have been drilled and trained to set it down at the first warning light that comes on. Contrast this with Vietnam chopper pilots, that would do all possible to keep their smoking, bullet riddled, oil leaking, system failing, dying birds in the air as long as possible not only to save themselves, but to get the troops on board to a safe location. BUT, they got medals for following safety procedure, and lost an $8 million dollar bird.
The Army isn't perfect, never has been. But this Jessica BS has gone too far.
I'm with Sam..Old Army, and proud of it.

I hate to say it but, look at her, she a pretty white all American looking girl. There was another female POW, but she was black. Hmm..wonder why she didn't get the publicity? Hell I don't even know what her name is along with the other POWs that were captured. As a former soldier it sickens me to see this.My trader feedback

She didn't say she was raped, she claims no recollection of it, docters are telling here there is evidence this occured however. They said the gun told us where she was because he saw her being slapped, but she says she doesn't remember ever being slapped. So its not all her.

I was watching tv earlier, and they said something about people questioning whether or not she was a hero. or something like that. I immediately asked myself, how was she a hero? she was captured then rescued. unless I am mistaken or just really stupid, thats not what a hero is.
honestly, I dont think its wrong that the army "used" her. shes in the army if they can benefit from her, then they should."Great stories! See everyone, just buy a Sydarm and become a paintball superstar!! "
