The men in combat are all hero's. She is getting publicity out of this and it is actually very sad in my opinion. How about the other prisioners of war that have managed to escape from harm? They don't get publicity.
Silent poet, which one did you want to vote for?

My stance:
Lynch is no more a hero than the vast majority of America's soldiers fighting overseas.
The people who rescued her and died to save her and other soldiers are certainly heroes.

Just asking, you said you voted for the wrong one
I don't really know what happened to Lynch but i don't really care to know. All the troops out in the world and the ones in reserves are all heroes. They might not have done something spectacular but still they are the line of defense that protects the U.S.
Lynch might not have done what you people say is heroic but it is still more than what you all and I have done. We have to credit her for being in the military even for what she did.

She didnt really risk her own life, it was more a case of in the wrong place at the wrong time. She also did not sacrifice her life. She's still alive. To think she was any more a hero than any other serviceman or woman on the front lines is ludicrous, and to tell the truth, many of them arent heroes either.
I think titles are passed around to quickly nowadays. Now, if you are defending your mates who are injured from 50 ak-47 wielding terrorists and you fend them all off, in the meanwhile losing 2 ligaments, i think thats cause for the use of the title of hero. Jessica Lynch? Hell no.
It comes down to how you interpret what a hero is, for me, she is just propaganda for the Bush Admin (or was). Those who cannot see that are fools IMHO.

Anyone who serves in the military is a hero. Once you sign on the dotted line and take that oath, you are allowing for the possibility for death by combat at anytime.
Perhaps others didn't get the recognition she got, but that's not her fault. The media needed a "darling of Enduring Freedom" poster child and she got picked.
