It can’t be the real thing because its missing a rant against lesbians.

Lowry article, someone totally different from the conservative pundit, and that b) he’s written an entire book about the battle for An Nasiriyah called Marines in the Garden of Eden. As it says in the article, he spent 2+ years researching and interviewing survivors of the battle in order to write the book.

But I’m sure you know way more about the battle than he does…after all, he chose to write for the “Weakly Standard.”

LOL. Any magazine that publishes Stephen Hayes is Der Sturner level propaganda…didn’t they hang Streicher in the end?

It just doesn’t make sense.

In any case, if you want to find out what really happened to Pvt. Lynch in An Nasiriyah, check out this story.

As for Cpl. Tillman, I wouldn’t say he’s a fake hero. Regardless of what some idiotic PR hack in the Pentagon may have done, the man turned his back on a multi-million dollar career in the NFL to enlist, and then volunteered for the Rangers, one of the toughest units you can get in in the Army, knowing full well in doing so he’d likely get sent to combat.

It was then that she was rescued.

Oh I agree with you, the media was clearly complicit in the Jessica Lynch lie. After all, it made for great TV didn’t it ?

“Fake hero” is a good start, if more precision, “fake war hero” does the man more justice as there is more to the story, something far more sinister. Tillman was known to have turned against the war, particularly the Iraq adventure, and let his mates know it. He was reading Chomsky and had told his parents he had hoped to meet the leftist upon his return. He was an anti-war titan in the making, but like Odysseus, the Gods weren’t going to let him come home.

They are now claiming they’re shocked, shocked……

Only if they are honest w/ themselves, it will be much harder for the Pentgon/Adminstration cons to get away w/ this time and again

Then why did the Pentagon feel compelled to lie about both of their stories ?

I don’t mean to endorse what the Pentagon did here. If nothing else, though, it really isn’t all that surprising given how these wars have been fought from the beginning.
