has anyone ever thought that its not bravery that drives someone to pick up a gun and fight for their country? I mean Jessica Lynch is from a small W. Virginia town and from the looks of her family from interviews I saw, it didn't look like they had much. Maybe she joined the army so she could make some money and go to college. I know thats why some of my friends joined. Yes they adore their country and yes they are putting their lives on the line for us, but that wasn't why they joined. The lure of money was too much for them.

I think that her brother is also in the military. That could be a factor in why she joined.
