Former Private Jessica Lynch Speaks Out About Whether Iraq War Was Worth It, Why She Had to Set the Record Straight About Government's False Story

foxnewsinsider.com

About 9 years ago, enemy fighters in Iraq captured then-19-year-old former Private First Class Jessica Lynch in a deadly ambush on the truck that she was driving. Eleven soldiers died in the attack, including one of Lynch’s closest friends.

Later, Special Forces rescued Lynch from an Iraqi hospital and initial government reports portrayed her as a hero who went down fighting, claims which Lynch denied, saying that she didn’t shoot a single round in the attack.

Interesting to see some truth come out of this report to an event that was a landmark galvanizing some opinions of what happened and afterwards the ambush of the supply convoy was studied.
Ultimately, the convoy should not have turned around to retrace their steps- when they did they were caught in the ambush.

You seem to be my nemesis in many threads Blue.
However, on this I think you and I are on the same side.
The Lynch debacle was just that.

I wonder if she is going to be promoting something soon...

This is one article that I am glad came to surface. I remember the Lynch story very well and even bought her book. "I too am an American". I was in the United States on holidays and I can still see Sheppard Smith of the Fox Cable News Network say that young 19 year old Jessica fired every round in her weapon until she ran out of bullets. They make a stupid for telly movie out of that while her African American comrade who I feel was just a hero got to switch on the drop ball for times square new year that year which I think was 2004.

And then they take her to her backwoods town in West Virginia for a hoopa parade with her boyfriend with his maroon beret tilted down to his right ear lobe with a pit dog look on his face that should have made the Iraqi army drop there weapons and run. I mean how much propaganda can one get. Would the United States Army have done all of the fanfare for the young African American solider?

Really, everybody here should read her story and then what really went down. What if she was not a shapely thin blond haired young woman? Somebody here at ATS please tell me how many Iraq civilians died in those awful wars because Saddam tried to kill George,s Dad.

Perhaps what you really mean is during the Holocaust while millions of Jews were rounded up and sent in to Nazi death camps, the world goes silent. When a young American soldier lies through her teeth, the world sits up and pays attention. (I never brought in to her story full of holes in the first place - you all sure did).

or perhaps this......

Why do Americans choose from just 2 people to run for President and 50 for Miss America?

Lynch claimed that she waivers on her feelings about whether the war was worthwhile, saying “Certain days I think definitely because we went in there and we got Saddam and that was our mission. On other days, we lost so many lives and so many brothers and sisters … on that aspect, no. I don’t think any war is worth having our soldiers killed.”

Isn't sort of an odd thing for a soldier who voluntarily signed up to be in the army to say that: "I don’t think any war is worth having our soldiers killed"? If she said the Iraq war wasn't worth it that's one thing, but certainly a soldier has to believe that at least some wars must be worth fighting and getting killed, else why would they sign up to join the military?

Regarding setting the record straight, better late than never I guess.
