Quote:what is the real Jessica Lynch story? I've been out of the loop for a while
She wasn't some huge war hero who took out dozens of Iraqi troops and saved an entire battalion or whatever the Pentagon story was. She says her weapon jammed and she never fired a shot.
Also, the injuries she supposedly suffered while being tortured brutally by Iraqi's were really sustained when her humvee crashed.
She also said that that she was treated well while in custody.
There are reports that the Iraqi doctors offered to return her to American forces, but they turned them down, opting to go with the heroic rescue that was shown on every news channel in America.
