I hope you mean - to public libraries and schools where students will have to write compositions about that pathetic opus?

Or every member of Comm... er, Republican and Democratic Parties will be obliged to buy and read it!?

Did you hear about the book called "Little Land"?

Really?! You mean they don't let the US military speak about what happens there?!

It took about 15 years for the personal narratives of Vietnam to start coming out. Usually by then, the guys are out of the military, and are able to tell in full detail what happened.

So its not up to the military to tell what happened, its up to the troops to find time to write down their experiences and publish them.

Heaven forbid that they might not want to publish their stories to feed the war-porn industry.

Hmm. According to a crowd of American Patriots here on this BBS, "it's impossible to hide the truth about war from American public"...

Do the people who have been telling this to me endlessly have some sort of distorted information?

To me it sounds quite reasonable: when you serve you sign some kind of NDA, and simply are not allowed to tell some things to others.

It's going to be real interesting seeing the direction this takes, and just what type of story is told -- why so many weapons jammed when they needed to use them etc. probably will not even be acknowledged. I can already see the made-for-TV movie.

Another strange thing.

I was looking for an original BBC report saying that Lynch's liberation was staged, but the only thing I could find on BBC web site is this: US rejects BBC Lynch report

The original report mysteriously disappeared? Or maybe I am just paranoid?...

"I think it's based on her being female and the actual rescue."

I think it's based on her being a white, blonde American female and the movie will be based on whatever Hollywood thinks it will take to make the greatest box office proceeds.

I predict that Cameron Diaz will play Lynch and that the Screen Actros Guild will use actual DNA to clone John Wayne as a "father figure" sargeant in time for the filming. Wayne will take the naive and vixen Lynch under his wing during some spectacular espionage shenanigans and exploits behind the enemy lines.
Of course he ultimately sacrifices his life to save hers at a crucial juncture near the movies end but only after the duo have stumbled upon a yound hotshot but shotdown fighterpilot named Brigidair Colonel Voss, played by Ben Affleck. Voss, the F16 Viper "driver", found in the baking dessert, dragging his planes canopy behind him, is single handedly wreaking havoc on the whole Iraqi army that is pursuing him as he struggles heroicly to make his way back to friendly lines. All the while suffering from scorpion bites and the onset of brain cancer too!
However, in spite of his infirmities Lynch falls helplessly head over bootheals in love with him - no small part of that due to his tales of unmatched prowess and superior ability for derring doo.
The high point of the movie will be this; as Voss lays hiding under a cargo tarp mumbling "They can't see me! They can't see me. I'm invisible!!" and John Waynes slowly closes his eyes for the last time again, whispering that Lynch is the son he never had, Lynch will drag herself along the ground for several yards, inspite of a broken leg and more grime than makup, over to an RPG that just happens to be there, loaded, primed and ready to go! Just as the whole Iraqi army cautiously encircles her, guns drawn and mumbling a symian dialect of Arabic, Lynch quickly flips over onto her back and fires the RPG right into Saddam Hussein, killing him with a spectacularly meaty explosion and winning the war.

Westy that is great. Easily as good as Batman Forever.

She served her country, risked her life, was seriously injured, possibly horribly abused in captivity and received a medical honorable discharge. If someone wants to pay her money for her story, great. I hope she makes the most of this opportunity, earns millions off the deal and spends the rest of her life in luxury.

Hear, hear. Best case scenario would have been that the whole unit lived through the battle and they all could have written about it, but unfortunately some died. Doesn't mean that the story should not be told.

Why not a book on the men & women who died to get her that deal.

I read the account of the incident that someone here had posted up. Seems to me that Lynch was only a minor player in the whole thing, hardly worth a book deal. The Hummer she was in got more mention in the write-up than she did.

What I can't help but wonder is, did America's perverse imagination get the better of it here? Let's face it, a beautiful young woman held captive at the hands of Arab barbarians is the stuff erotic underground novels are made of. And you know full well that people were imagining her being forced to succumb to all sorts of sexual depravations. That poor girl! At the hands of those molestors! Somebody save her!

Nobody really cared as much about Shawna or Lori. They were footnotes. But Jessica was a hottie. That made her newsworthy.

A better movie would be about the guys that actually shot back, that tried to dodge the obstacles and get out to freedom. That's what made "Black Hawk Down" so great.

Lynch's story, factually told, probably wouldn't be very interesting, at least not as interesting as a dramatization of an erotic underground novel based on her story.

Regardless of whether you all think she is a hero or not, at least she went over there. Unlike this stupid avacado who spoon fed some crap to a bunch of horny internet tards (it takes a page or two to really get good, but then the pros come in and sink her story faster than a bowling ball in a lake).

Hahah that little kid had those guys fooled.

Hey, we as Americans have ourselves to blame. Many actually watch this stuff when it comes out on TV. Or people actually buy the book.

I remember when they gave some Navy pilot a medal for landing his top secret plane in China due to a collision with a Chinese fighter. People actually called him a hero for saving the lives of his crew. Total BS! He should of radioed for help and ditched at sea!

Disgusting!
