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 Lynchs 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 didnt shoot a single round in the attack.
Today, Lynch joined Shepard Smith to talk about being in captivity, how she got the strength to call out the government on the false story presented about her, and whether, in the end, the Iraq War was worth it.
Of the attack, Lynch said she woke up about three hours after the ambush and knew immediately that something was wrong. She said, I woke up and all I could see was Iraqis standing all around me, looking down upon me. I knew at that moment something terrible had happened and I wasnt in the right place.

I think the problem a lot of people have is they dont understand how calling her a hero cheapens the meaning of the word.
Yeah, that's gonna be one brutal wake up call, and the social engineering architects will be nowhere to be found. But then, this whole feminization and homosexualization of our military is nested in the larger effort of the de-construct of Judeo-Christian western civilization.

Exactly right. In the long run, Gramsci was more dangerous to world freedom than Lenin. He understood that the West as it stood was too strong to attack head-on. It first needed to be intentionally rotted out from within by termite traitors.
They have succeeded.
Are you kidding? Can you imagine what the media spin would be like if she were a left-handed lesbian, Native American/African American/Wise Latina moslem?
Yep, I seem to recall that.
Between Bush's compassionate wars, and his pandering and love for millions of illegal aliens from Mexico....I have absolutely *no* respect for that individual.
Already here.
Millions jobless, homeless, broke, country bankrupt, broke, trillions in debt, borrowing from Communist while sending them our jobs, wide open borders during wartime, millions illegally flooding through during wartime...Corrupt bigfat-gov bailing out the super rich, the banks and fatcorps, all while the private sector is economically gang raped...
These are not the signs or indicators of a strong successful country, but one which has been completely undermined and compromised to it's core.

Reminds me of the rot within the late Ottoman Empire. In 1900 it covered most of the Middle East. In 20 years it was swept away to remnants. These downward transitions can happen with astonishing speed. Just imagine policing our cities a month after the ATM, EBT and credit cards have gone to flashing zeroes. The America a year later would in no way resemble America a year before.
As I recall, it took several years to lose 2000 men in Iraq.
At Omaha Beach, we lost nearly that many in the first half-hour.
On the opening day of the Battle of the Somme, the British lost ten times that many before noon.
As a woman, she was by definition NOT a "combat soldier".
