While I agree with those who say that the other POWs deserve attention and credit too, Jessica Lynch was nevertheless brave. I am her age, and I do not have it in me to enlist in the army in the first place, let alone to handle being deployed in Iraq. Nevermind the fact that she is supposedly like 5'1 and under 100 pounds - her rifle must be almost as big as her!
A tiny 20 year old girl who is brave enough to enlist in the army and survive a POW experience does deserve respect; however, it is sad that other soldiers do not recieve the same respect as they are all deserving!
On a side note did anyone else hear that she is now engaged to her boyfriend?
