Early reports had Lynch fighting her attackers until she ran out of ammunition and suffering knife and bullet wounds. Military officials later said Lynch wasn't shot, but was hurt after her Humvee utility vehicle was hit by a rocket-propelled grenade and crashed into another vehicle.
She was awarded the Bronze Star, Purple Heart and Prisoner of War medals while still in the hospital in Washington, D.C.
Lynch told Sawyer she was just in the wrong place at the wrong time, and that her gun jammed during the chaos. "I'm not about to take credit for something I didn't do," she said.
"I did not shoot, not a round, nothing. ... I went down praying to my knees. And that's the last I remember."
On Thursday, Lynch won admiration in her hometown for having the courage to reveal she was raped by her Iraqi captors.
So any woman who is raped is a hero now eh?
Im not saying that it was good that she was raped, but in fact there is NO REAL medical proof she was ever raped.
NONE.
She herself has said many times that she was captured and then blanked out and only remmembers being raped when being interviewed by Army Intelligence.
Another US led case of trying to make a hero in the desperate voting times?
If every female that is raped in war is a hero, then why the hell isnt every american who got his dick cut off in vietnam a "hero"
I dont think anyone who would "fall to their knees and pray" as my friends died in a combat situation would be called a war hero.
Just my
