Jessica doesn't view herself as a hero, so why all of the antagonism? She's a young person who has been through a lot of bad things. Her story is of interest so she has told it via her book and interviews. More power to her if she gets this attention. The sorry side of it is the antagonism that she will also generate. Regardless, there are a lot of people interested in her story. Personally I would be interested in the stories of all of our young men and women who are serving around the world. It's too bad the media hasn't provided them with a forum as well.

What antagonism? I feel horrible for the poor girl, who--but for Clinton--should never have been anywhere near the front lines. I am annoyed only at how glibly the term "hero" is tossed around these days--increasingly so since 9/11.
