Let me begin by saying I appreciate what Jessica Lynch underwent, and that I feel badly for her ordeal.

That noted, like Parker, this is among the comments I've made about not only Jessica Lynch, but anyone who joins the military without understanding that to which they are committing themselves: the defense of our nation and her people, including to the level of risking one's own life.

If you want a college education, study hard and work to earn a scholarship, or borrow money with a student loan and repay it later. Don't enlist and presume you will not be found in harm's way in your tour.

Lynch's actions placed at risk a number of our other troops who found themselves in a mission to rescue her, and it is that group of individuals in which if one looks for a hero, one will find many.

Oh brother. Every guy I know joined because of the benefits. They didn't do it for free!

Bull! She was not commander and she wasn't even driving the Humvee that wrecked. She wasn't the only POW taken. She had nothing to do with several taken POW. Amazing you guys try to pin all the blame on her with absolutely no evidence.
