We all remember Jessica Lynch surely… That poster girl of American dumbness who’s weapon jammed and she was caught and tortured behind enemy lines in Iraq, then she was rescued in an all guns blazing, some might say daring, siege on the hospital she was stuck in…
“It was like a Hollywood film. They cried ‘go, go, go’, with guns and blanks without bullets, blanks and the sound of explosions. They made a show for the American attack on the hospital – action movies like Sylvester Stallone or Jackie Chan.”
As for Private Lynch, her status as cult hero is stronger than ever. Internet auction sites list Jessica Lynch items, from an oil painting with an opening bid of $200 to a $5 “America Loves Jessica Lynch” fridge magnet.
But doctors now say she has no recollection of the whole episode and probably never will.”
Now she’s remembering enough to nab a $1M book deal… Even that article says:
“Jessica Lynch was brutally raped by her Iraqi captors. That is the shocking revelation in “I Am a Soldier, Too,” the much-anticipated authorized biography of the former POW. A copy of the book was obtained by The Daily News yesterday. Best selling author Rick Bragg tells Lynch’s story for her, often using her own words. Thankfully, she has no memory of the rape.”
Am I the only one who thinks this “heroine” is far from heroic? What’s heroic about being caught and unable to defend yourself because your weapon was jammed (probably due to her not taking proper care of it)…
I dunno.
