You said — “ What I am disputing is that the Pentagon lied about her experience. The Pentagon might have been wrong, but that’s different from lying.”
Well, I suppose it’s a slight bit better to know that they may not be crooks, but simply inept and incompetent at knowing, understanding or gathering the facts in the intervening years — which would then cause me to worry about the “war” and their “fact-gathering” capabilities there...
It’s not too comforting either way... but thank goodness for Jessica Lynch deciding to set the story straight. I guess it takes an individual citizen to do that.
No offense, but the Pentagon's mission does not revolve around setting the Jessica Lynch story straight. If they spent *any* time at all worrying about this stupid self-absorbed moron, I'd be worried about their priorities. We have North Korea, Iran, al Qaeda, the Taliban, Iraq and Afghanistan to worry about, and China and Russia lurking in the background, and the really important thing for the big shots at the Pentagon to focus on is to make sure every knows Jessica Lynch was a lousy soldier, and somebody else was the real hero? I don't think think so.
