Lynch the hero-the movie

<font face="Verdana" size="3" color="#00FF00">How much do you want to bet that the Hollywood version will have Lynch fighting fiercely in a scene that surpasses the Alamo before being captured.</font>

Interesting, you guys may be interested in this article. Be surprised to see that on CNN.

Ridiculous yes. Suprising no.

It is the right of Hollywood to rewrite history in the manner that will make the most money. The true story would be guaranteed to flop.

"See Jessica Lynch as she is captured without firing a shot"
"See how her unit took a wrong turning"
"Watch how Iraqi Doctors trated her injuries"
"Marvel at the cameraman who filmed her rescue"
"Watch how she receives her medals"


(I'm still glad she survived though) [img]smile.gif[/img]

She lost her memory ? Kinda convenient, isn't it ?

It's quite sad that this movie is how the world will remember the Lynch story and not the actual events. Nothing wrong with 'spicing up' a story a wee bit, but it's has to be done with a certain flair and not common Hollywood style.

But while most of us are still pi$$ed off at the bull that the US gave out over this story, please let us remember that PVT Lynch was <font color =red> NOT </font> at fault and like many others put her life on the line for what she belived in. I hope that this does not get lost sight of. :(
