...Instead of being raised to hero status, Lynch should have been court-martialed. By her own admission, she threw down her weapon and just prayed. This is cowardice in the face of the enemy. I am a Vietnam veteran, and I can assure you that the only heroes in the Jessica Lynch story are the troops who rescued her. Dan Raveia Fairfax...
...heroic soldiers and Marines who make sure their weapons are usable (a task any soldier can do quickly after two weeks of basic training) and fire back at the enemy, not lower their heads and close their eyes while their fellow soldiers get shot and killed. If Lynch were male, she would be called a coward. There have been countless acts of real heroism in Iraq by soldiers who have put their lives on the line to save others.

...Lynch is right not to call herself a hero. She was wounded, captured and spent days in an Iraqi hospital. Admittedly that cannot have been a pleasant experience, but surely there are other soldiers in Iraq who have done things above and beyond the call of duty and are more deserving of praise than Lynch.
