We are sending our children to die
My heart goes out to Private Lynch. All this young girl was trying to do is earn a little money in the Army, since there are no jobs for her at home. She did her best under difficult circumstances, and some of her friends were killed. Anyone who has been in combat understands full well the depth of the distress she must be feeling. Yet the US government, for their own propagandistic purposes, has tried to make her into a big hero, when the real heroes in this story are the Iraqi people who helped her survive. But what really got to me was hearing Jessica Lynch's voice. It is the tiny voice of a little school girl. The real patriotic service she is now performing is to let Americans hear the voice of the young children we are sending to die for Bush and his oil company cronies.
