The Jessica Lynch Story
Re “An Army Medical Discharge for Lynch,” Aug. 28: Is this a great country or not? Poor Southern girl joins the military, gets captured in the Iraq war and someone wants to pay $1 million for her story. Much as a quarterback gets too much credit for a team win, it seems that in our celebrity-driven media, Jessica Lynch is receiving far too much attention for her role in the war.
