There's no proof that Jessica Lynch is dead; DoD lists her as Duty Status Whereabouts Unknown (DUSTWUN) and the media is calling her Missing in Action (MIA). She was driving the 5-ton truck, according to her father, Greg Lynch. While some of her fellow soldiers were segregated out and executed, others taken before cameras as POWs, she was not among them. Her fate is undetermined and the British Sun is the only paper reporting such speculation that she's dead. There is NOTHING out there to substantiate her death.

We have to keep in mind that the Sun is comparable to the NY Post or the Enquirer. Anything for a headline, regardless of who's side is involved.

I have been thinking about her fate for days. What I am thinking is not good. I pray for her.

I have a suspicion that this "Girl" would highly resent being demeaned by the title girl. Her stated age is 19 one year in excess of age 18 which legally conveys adulthood in our legal system (unless you want to buy a beer).

She joined the military and sucessfully completed Basic Combat Training and Advanced Individual training. That makes her a SOLDIER! NOT a GIRL.

If you must codify and classify refer to her as a Female Soldier.

Any less is an insult!
