[AKS\/\/ulfe]

No, it hasn't... actually I ran that article on Cornum together with Lynch's case by mistake.

I wonder if they would have rescued her if she weren't a hottie? I'll bet if she were fat and ugly she'd still be a POW.
I'm just kidding, not trolling.

MSNBC just reported that Marshall University is giving Jessica a 4 year scholarship.

Target,,thts kik ass

and why do we send very yopung folks in..Cause they have not had any if at all near death expericnes..


ITS very hard to send a majority of the older folks into a very Deadly area..

Hell dont you read history books....Read about ww2 Bomer crews...Young..young...hell almost all the soldiers were..

The average age of infantry was 19yrs old in vietnam.

they heal quiker..more flexiable..and a certain invinciblity at younger age. As you learn more..you say..HOLY SHEAT..i aint doin that sht!!

Im 29..I feel pretty good that i would satnd side by side with our boys. i will kill alot of peopl who threatn our nation and familys/kids/moms/sisters/grandparents...

I don't know if she'll need the money MT because she'll sign a  Made for TV Movie Deal worth millions. No doubt there'll be plenty of shots of Jessica tied to a bed in her underwear as she's tortured by an Iraqi soldier. I understand they wanted Kierstn Dunst to play Jessica, but she's busy with another made-for-television saga- "The Elizabeth Smart Story."

I know there are a gazillion reasons to send kids in, but im willing to bet all of them are in the best interest of other than theirs.

Still, it depresses me to see that in a "controlled" conflict (not a WW2 like total war scenario), they send them in.

Dunno, maybe have the forces grouped by ages so when somethign like this comes up they can have 25+ years old sent out while the younger ones remain training or something. Im no uberexpert on this stuff, maybe im leaning to the nickelodeon world as that iraqui fella bashed an airheaded girl on radio... it just aint right in my book

dunno about this. i cant speak for army infantry but average age in special operations is fairly high. also age dont mean much in a combat unit. you can have a 20 year old that handles himself better under pressure than a 28 year old. in general id say you arent going to have someone who cant handle themselves as part of modern American combat unit. you guys need to remember that things went very wrong in terms of intended use the moment these maintanence people got fired upon by rifles. big big difference between combat troops and non combat troops.

2. We will coordinate up to 4 different branches of our military within 24 hours and come up with a plan.
3. We will send in our top troops including SEALS, Rangers and Special Ops Air Forces to snatch ONE soldier.

some details for you midnight target. planning time was over 48 hours. Marines, Rangers, and SEALs involved.

I believe all jar heads are supposed to be combat first, all the rest is secondary.

Heard she was about 2 months out of boot camp when she got sent over and never had any "O-**** I've been captured" classes. That really bites as she probably was in no way prepared for her ordeal.

On another note, she may have survived because she's from Palestine...who knows.

[Lizard3]

Oh yeah, I also noted there was no talk of us taking ANY prisoners in the op.

That speaks volumes to any present and future people taking any of ours prisoner.

prisoners valuable usually. if prisoners not option reason is usually limited space for people on extraction or not enough manpower to secure prisoners. it seems like they had plenty of both. whered you hear the no prisoners report?

Just another glaring setback for the mercinary invaders in their doomed war on the peaceful people of iraq.

Oh, I didn't hear a report of no prisoners. I heard they got her and 11 bodies. They never mentioned prisoners and I think maybe they would've if they'd gotten any.

And your exactly right, I goofed the jar head thing. I guess I just like saying....Jar HEAD! (that from a squid no less)

[Kanth]

I think she killed them all herself because she was tired of their endless speculation.

but I won't say anything more about that till we know the truth.

I can't help but wonder if they weren't killed for acting out against their actors for her sake- being that they were torturing her/raping her, they tried to put an end to it- lost their lives for it.
