Sgt. Mathew Rose received the Bronze star after taking part in this action as well. Does anyone know if he earned his?

Apache: When she was a prisoner of war, I was at home, sitting on the couch under the air conditioner.

Oh, you are so magnanimous! Plenty of servicermen were exibiting real heroism while you were sitting on the couch, but I guess it would be OK to devalue their hard-won awards because you feel sorry for the girl...

Like I've said before, you're so educated you're stupid. You're response to my post is evidence to solidify my apparently reasonable assumption.

Looks like they are all getting Bronze stars. Are we going to go over them case by case in here?

anybody seen a factual blow-by-blow of that engagement, and her part in it yet?

mayhaps we're barking up the tree before the cat gets there?

as to her value as a propaganda puppet for hollywood.. i'll alert the media.

i dunno about you guys, but i happen to enjoy immensely watching those old B&W hollywood propaganda movies not to mention the old brit wwII movies which were great cinema too. why deny the next generation a good antique movie moment?.

But Hangtime... giving Ben Afleck more work should be a capital offence. Think of the children!

Although I'm sure the lead Iraqi villain will have an upper class English accent. So more work for a moustachioed Jeremy Irons.

I just saw PFC Lynch on TV...

I take it back, give her the medal...she's cute.

Seriously, if she earned it, good for her. I don't know the answer here.

If they're using her as a propaganda tool, it's sad because it would be another example of the chicken-**** politico's pissng on the graves of servicemen who DID earn it.

Hortlund · « **Reply #25 on:** July 22, 2003, 02:02:45 PM »

wth...I just read that official AAR, and by the looks of that she sure as **** didnt earn any medal, that's for sure.

After reading the above report.
I see no reasone for Pvt Lynch to get the bronze star.
Sorry but from what i read all she did was get hurt In a wreck
while she was a passenger in a hummer!
Now Pfc Miller That young Man Kicked prettythang!!

john9001 · « **Reply #27 on:** July 22, 2003, 02:16:50 PM »

well if you don't think she should get the medal, why don't YOU start movment to take it away from her, you could have congress investagate the whole thing, maybe you could have bush impeached for giving her the medal.

Look the Army went to toejam when they TOOK the black Beret's away from the RANGER's and gave them to the reg Army as a fashion statement!!
So I guess it aint that hard to understand that the Press and The
Army would really pump this whole thing up into a big deal.
Look I know people who have been hurt while in operations that none of us will never hear about.
Do you think they get any medals.
Nope!!
Most of the people in the 507th there did a stand up job.
That pfc Miller killed 9 bad guy's .
And he got the silver star wich he deserved.
But as far as just being a passenger that gets hurt in an accident?
Man I just don't see it.
Just my opinion.

Just read that report, is anyone gonna hang for that?

And all the weapon malfunctions, I don't think any of the weapons worked, how sad.
