Post by Iceberg »

So what does President Bush do now that his fresh-faced propaganda tool is sick of playing Soldier Barbie?

Good for her, if a little late considering she's already written a book, and there's a movie on the way. Or is that already out?

And America is deter mined that Lynch will be a heroine, despite the fact that she never fired a shot, and instead got down on her knees to pray as her unit was surrounded by enemy forces. As she pointed out herself, it was her dead colleague Lori Piestewa, a Native American mother of two, who went down fighting.
Idiot. Ought to throw her outta the Army.

Over on SB, Lokan is claiming that she should have sat on her hands, stayed silent and played hero, apparently just because she had already made money from the propaganda mill.

The words of one of the worthless fucks sums up their views on it nicely:
A worthless fuck by the name of Talon Karde wrote:Seriously, for people to look at the Bush Administration differently is bogus. For people to think Lynch is a liar and an immature little girl by the way she acted seems fine to me.
These people howled over the now-Showtime Reagan TV movie, but won't give a shit about the propaganda piece Lynch movie.
"Right now we can tell you a report was filed by the family of a 12 year old boy yesterday afternoon alleging Mr. Michael Jackson of criminal activity. A search warrant has been filed and that search is currently taking place. Mr. Jackson has not been charged with any crime. We cannot specifically address the content of the police report as it is confidential information at the present time, however, we can confirm that Mr. Jackson forced the boy to listen to the Howard Stern show and watch the movie Private Parts over and over again."

Yes, well, you get the point. If you get on your knees to pray while your comrades are fighting and dying, you're sure as hell no hero.

CNN had a brief piece on it this morning, and apparently there's an article somewhere on cnn.com (although it's pretty deeply buried).

So with her millions of dollars secured she now attempts to play down the bullshit? That's wonderful.

Hopefully Bush and the morons of both sides will actually remember the soldiers doing thier job over there instead of the constant back and forth crap over Pvt. Lynch. Half the claims I've are pure bullshit made up by one side or the other.

Her rifle jammed and she was badly hurt by the crash. Rather than unjam it and get back into the fight wounded, she panicked. It's not Medal of Honor material (or even Bronze Star) but it's not like she just dropped to her knees as soon as things got hot.

On the contrary, who gives a flying fuck about Spacebattles? This isn't Spacebattles2.0 gentlemen. Dragging up dicussion from over there just to laugh about it is just pointless and half way to trolling in my opinion.

How'd they get a movie out this quickly?

And who's playing her?

And how'd she write a whole book about her experiences?

A clip on the Daily Show showed the producer talk about how he got intrigued in the story the day after it showed up in the media.

So he started pretty early into developing a project it seems.
And who's playing her?
Laura Regan.
And how'd she write a whole book about her experiences?
Uh, with a computer. What do you mean how?
