I guess most of you have bad memories. The story of her heroism was debunked almost as soon as she was rescued. This is not the first time she told what happened, as for me I read the real story a few days after she was recused. As for the people who rescued her, they had no idea what awaited them when they went in, they did a dirty job that had to be done. I bet she is glad she got out when she did. I don't think the penagon lied about her being a hero, they are not the ones who told the story of her fighting to the end, the DBM did, now they are using their mis-reporting to smear the military, one of their primary goals in life. Pat was an accident and they should have told it like it was when it happened but they didn't. I don't think he was murdered, I think he was a victim of friendly fire it happens in combat and in training.
In 1961, in a place called Grafenwoehr in Germany, I watched as an eight inch round, fired by an artilary group that were training, landed on a mess tent with about 100 men lined up for chow. I was 300 yards away and saw it all. This was friendly fire, during training, it happens in peacetime and in war. Too bad his parents can't simply deal with it and too bad the pentagon lied about it.
Too bad his parents can't simply deal with it and too bad the pentagon lied about it.Actually, it's too bad the parents can't accept a simple white lie. Sometimes, the truth will set you free. In white lie situations, the aggravation of finding out the truth will drive you to an early grave.
