Former prisoner of war Jessica Lynch accused the military of using her capture and dramatic nighttime rescue to sway public support for the war in Iraq.
she is lucky to be alive, and she\'s complaining?
not only was she a soldier, but she became govt property when she signed her name on the paper.
-
what an ungrateful bitch...
-
I agree with everything she said, she sounds like a very smart person.
-
From what I hear the rescue was way too agressive. The news I heard said that the hospital told the military she was there and could come and get her without force.
-
She is just trying to get more publicity.
I mean they are making a ****ing movie out of it, arent they?
Ungrateful Bitch.
BTW: My brother is being sent to Iraq in Feburary, Im so ****ing scared.
-
if anything, it was the US tryin to get pub. out of the whole thing way back when. I vividly remember all of the bullshit that was said about her capture and rescue, 80% of which turned out to be false and right from Lynchs mouth at that.
-
I dont see why you people are so mad at her, shes basically just saying she shouldn\'t be viewed as a hero just a survivor.
-
shes a damn soldier
-
ok..your point?
-
apparantly, you never served your country
-
....
What does that have to do with the amount of media attention this got?
-
exactly....
and mm....you should know the answer to that already.
-
I read in yesterdays newpaper that she was raped by her captors in Iraq.

Couldnt she have got more publicity by telling how hard things were in Iraq, what she has suffered etc , heighten the patriotism and gain compassion from the american people instead?
Ironic isnt it? :rolleyes:
-
she\'s limited to what she\'s allowed to say
-
Yeah right.But she was allowed to say "HEY THE ARMY HAS USED ME TO SERVE ITS PUROTPOSES"!
Thats even more ironic
-
once again.........
ok and?
or perhaps your point?
Maybe im just a little tipsy at the moment, but I dont see what her limited ability to tell details has to do with this or the lies that were spread.
or that u arent speaking to me.
-
yes, that is fine
they will tolerate that because of her ordeal
what lies?
facts: she was captured without fighting, she was brutalized, she was recovered (while thousands didnt over the years), she is complaining
-
She is complaining because she said that her capture was exploited?Thats not complaining.Or perhaps becuase she was freed by the army that will mean she will tolerate every exaggeration, lie and use of her capture for some puroposes
-
not complaining!!!!!!
she should be THANKING god that the US saved her. she is LUCKY to be alive
-
Read again.
-
one word, comprehension
please make use of it
-
Instead of trying to make me sound wrong proove me wrong.
My comprehension goes beyond yours.
-
Uhm..mind go blank recently mm???
You dont remember all of the bullshit about her being stabbed and shot....not to mention having a shoot-out and taking several iraqi soldiers down b4 her own capture? Funny, I heard all of that shit...repeatedly at that.
It really doesnt matter what you say about that as I KNOW for a fact that was said all over the TV back then. I also know I cant be the only to remember that.
Anywho, the biatch has every right to talk a little shit, specially when its mainly true.
-
what fools, believing what the TV tells you
:rolleyes:
bow before your god, the television!
-
what does repeating info from months ago have to do with believing said info months ago?????
Did I say I believed it?
Did I ever say anything about believing what was on TV?
Also, since you want to be an ass about things, it was the lovely government that put that info out there, not the just media making it up.

Was ger capture being exploited?Yes.Is it moral?NO!
-
and that is all she has seem to say..hardly complaining IMO.
-
where\'s my megarolleyes gif.....
-
Stop being so arrogant and proove us wrong for once
-
proove?
i dun have to prove shit
feeling insecure, eh?
-
Feeling insecure?Why should I feel insecure? :confused:
Becuase you cant answer to my questions or proove me wrong?
-
ever hear the phrase, sounding like a broken record?
-
Will you please answer and stop being so arrogant and ironic in conversations?You diont seem to understand the meaning of the word "CONVERSATION"?Or perhaps its got a meaning for you only when someone agrees with you?
-
She said she was raped and she was later rescued. I\'d be a bit more appreciative, if I were her. She has to realize that her rescue, if used as a media hype, is just normal for ANY country to do. She has a right to say what she wants, I guess....this isn\'t a Taliban state, after all.
-
Alright. My two cents. I agree with mm about this. She\'s a soldier. She understood the risks and her rank states that she can be used for anything. And yes, our government uses its soldiers, thats what they are there for. They go in, die, become prisoners and get paraded to the world in a dramatic rescue. BUT, our government was kind of stupid to give it so much attention but it was mostly the media. I mean, they just saved her and nothing more. It happened other times in Iraq so I don\'t think all this attention is fair to the other POWs.

Raise your hand if you think mm turned retarded over last week;

Which part didn\'t you understand? Hell, English isn\'t my primary language and I could figure it out.
-
I\'m not surprised to see that kind of grammar from her anymore, so I\'ll pretend there\'s nothing wrong with it....:rolleyes:
-
My comprehension goes beyond yours.
No, no it doesn\'t.
-
She shouldn\'t be complaining - you can set the facts straight without criticizing the military. With all the chaos going on over there when she was rescued I am sure many different versions of her ordeal were floating around.
Who is she to judge the danger of the rescue operation? She was confined to a bed and barely coherrent enough to be aware of what was in her room let alone the whole hospital. The fact is the special forces guys who went in to get her risked their lives to retrieve her and while she has been grateful to them, she shouldn\'t criticize the military for the rumors and conflicting stories regarding her ordeal.

I understood it, however after seeping through a million gramatical errors.

Lynch or w/e is completely out of wack. She recieves more benefits than people that have been shot and held for much longer than she was. The difference being 45% between her and the others. I dont feel like going into details.

Not everyone can write perfectly, perhaps because of dyslexia etc., hence the reason it\'s not polite to make fun of such errors.
-
Hence the reason they should not post at forums in which the only medium of communication is through reading one\'s text, and if you can\'t type no one can comprehend or even if they could, the wouldn\'t care less about what teh retard has to say.

So if you\'re dyslexic, you\'re a retard? Gee, you sure are tolerant SwifDi. :rolleyes:
Not being ass - at least sometimes - would suit you gelboy.

If you\'re dyslexic, don\'t waste your time here. That\'s all I have to say.

Since when does entering the military mean that the soldier can be used for "anything"? You don\'t become a soldier/slave. You understand the risk of death but there is no mention of being whored out to the media.

Facts are subjective.
I can take what you say as facts or I can take the word of people that were actually there. Seeing as how the story released by officials said she went down w/ guns blazing(lie), was raped(hasn\'t even been confirmed by Lynch herself), along with a convenient video of her "rescue". I am likely to lean towards the stories that say the opposite.

BTW, Why isn\'t this thread in Current Events?
