I admire Lessica Lynch for standing up in such a manner when so many others can easiy live a lie, and I abhor those who fabricated stories about her. Jessica calls herself an American Soldier, not a heroine. She has REAL backbone and the Army should be proud to have her serve under them. However, the true hero of the day was Pfc. Patrick Miller who saved the life of Lynch and several others near her on that fateful day.Jessica Lynch criticized military for exaggerating accounts of her rescue and recasting her ordeal as patriotic fable.... MORE.. Asked by ABCNEWS anchor Diane Sawyer if military's portrayal of rescue bothered her, Lynch said: 'Yeah, it does. It does that they used me as a way to symbolize all this stuff. Yeah, it's wrong' ... Asked how she felt about reports of her heroism: 'It hurt in a way that people would make up stories that they had no truth about. Only I would have been able to know that, because the other four people on my vehicle aren't here to tell the story. So I would have been the only one able to say, Yeah, I went down shooting. But I didn't' ... Asked about claims the military exaggerated danger of the rescue mission: 'Yeah, I don't think it happened quite like that'...
