You got it right Diesel. I would’ve joined if I could have gone to chirorpractis college and served afterwards in the military. Chiropractors couldn’t be commissioned officers back then. They didn’t have a job, I guess.
I was fully aware that I could get dead.
I completely agree with you - We SHOULD honor PFC Lynch, BECAUSE of her commitment to serve and porotect and fight for her country - and put her life on the table to get it done. She has balls, more than MANY men in this great country.
I dont have a bone to pick with her. See, my problem is that while she should be recognized for her accomplishments and her commitment, and her ordeal, we need to be careful about why we celebrate it and why we honor her. Are we honoring her because she's one of our own, one who is fighting for us, someone who literally risked her life to spare others? Then we're doing it for the right reason.
...Are we honoring her because she's a 'Hero', and for TV executives, are they honoring her because she makes them money and brings them ratings? Then we're not doing it for the right reason.
See, everything in its own proportion. You cant make apples out of oranges no matter how long and how hard you try. You can TRY and make people believe your orange is actually an apple... but it just isnt. Eventually people will get sick of you stretching the facts and feeding them shit...Wether these TV execs like it or not, the American public KNOWS the truth of Lynch...At the very least we, as a Nation, know she's a very courageous honorable soldiers who deserves her Purple heart, BUT that she is not a HERO in the true meaning of the word...
I am not dsgusted at PFC Lynch for doing her job, where many wanted nothing but quit. I am disgusted at CBS for making pretend shes the hero of this war. money sometimes talks just a wee too loud, lol.
