Ex-POW Jessica Lynch Starring in Christian Film
ABC ^ | 9/16/14 | John Raby

Posted on 09/17/2014 3:20:45 AM PDT by SoFloFreeper

Former prisoner of war Jessica Lynch is enjoying her latest role, starring in a Christian movie currently in production.

But the West Virginia native is not sure if an acting career is in her future.

Lynch plays Beth Barlow, the president's daughter, in the JC Films production of "One Church."

"It's a lot of stress," Lynch told The Associated Press on Tuesday as she was heading from West Virginia to Rock Hill, South Carolina, to finish filming. "But I have to say I've had fun with it and it's an opportunity. I'm one of those people who says 'never say never' and you never know where life will take me."

I remember this girl being shoved into the public eye...nice to hear what she is up to now. I have wondered about whatever happened to her.

This is not good because she is now known as a liar. Please watch this first,

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-IBZKCgobqo

and then this interview where Jessica Lynch testified under oath that her weapon jammed in that fire fight.

Although it was pushed on the American people from the media as if she was some sort of Rambo. This is per Jessica Lynch. They didn’t want to tell the story that she was rapped.

Jessica Lynch was badly used by the feminazi media in an attempt to make her out to be a hero and to promote “women can serve equally well in combat roles.” She had the misfortune to be in a convoy led by an incompetent officer. I am sure she was well coached in whatever responses she gave to questions after her rescue. That Jessica may have been raped would have to be covered up even though it would be obvious consequence of female soldiers being captured; not specifically good for recruitment.

Bingo! The Leftist Media strikes again!

Jessica now admits she was repeatedly rapped. I can understand why the military does not want that to get out.

What happened to Jessica Lynch validates what Conservatives have been saying about women in combat for a very long time.... So now we know why the Leftist media played along with the military and went out of their way to push the lie.

At the end of the days its all about politics.

Trying not to have a knee jerk here.

From what I saw in the clip you linked and from what I remember, JL wasn’t the liar, it was the army. And as documented in the PBS report you linked, I see a heroine desperately trying to correct the lie that was perpetrated about her.

So where do you get off calling HER a liar?

She admitted she played along with the lie for PC reasons when it first came out (I think from 2003 until 2007). Check out the top link too.

Then later she changed her story. Her rifle jammed and she was caught. On top of that she was never shot.

This is the PC Police leftist, that used the military, to make her seem like Rambo. When that is not what happened.

I am willing to give her some grace. She went through a lot and seems to have wanted to set the record straight, IIRC.

Exactly what SoFlo said. The child became a woman, overcame her trauma and sought to expose the lie perpetuated by an all powerful government.

She is a hero. Period.

To be clear....I’m not calling her a hero for what happened to her in combat. I’m calling her a hero for exposing the lie and trying to correct the record.

Politicizing the military, to lie to the public, to push leftist dogma PC talking points into the public domain for political gain... DOES NOT make one a hero.

Now that is a point I can agree with.

I do appreciate JL blowing the whistle on the Leftist.

I’m just so sick of all the Leftist lying all the time.

They lie about the Environment, they lie about Fast and Furious, they lie about Benghazi, then lie about the IRS, etc.....

All the Leftist do is lie in order to get their way. This is because they can’t win the debate based on facts and logic. They are all emotion and lies all day long. It’s really pathetic.

I’m interested in truth no matter where it leads me.

I’m not interested in lies. You may be, but I’m not.

There you go. I’m totally interested in lies. I want to know what they are who perpetrated them. That’s what makes her a hero...she was brave enough to come forward to expose the lie and the force behind the lies.

Apparently you have no real interest in the truth...if it comes from a young woman who was used and manipulated by the government/army.

Enlightenment comes from truth...yet you spit in its face.

Go figure.

Only one female fired a shot, and she said that she fired it “towards the treeline” while moving.

Lynch describes herself as screaming and crying at her sergeant in the passenger seat, which might have resulted in her driver wrecking the vehicle which killed the occupants.

The decorated war hero, Lynch denies she was raped and says that the author of her book was wrong to write it in her book.

From wiki: “”The authorized biography, I Am A Soldier Too: The Jessica Lynch Story, by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Rick Bragg states that Lynch had been raped in the three hours she was unconscious during her captivity, based on medical records and her pattern of injuries. Lynch does not recall any sexual assault and was “adamantly opposed to including the rape claim in the book,” but that Bragg wore her down and told her that “people need to know that this is what can happen to women soldiers”.”
