What is the Jessica Lynch conspiracy?

My google-fu is failing me, which seems to be a rare thing these days. She's still alive; what's the conspiracy? The "weird" part is who rescued her... why does that matter?

That the whole story was made up pro-war propaganda, never happened at all. She later said/wrote exactly that.

Where did she say it was all fake? Not trying to be rude.

I thought she had a press conference.

She told mlutiple msm organizations, I think in 2005, they're probably stiil out there somewhere. Just Google her name and interview, some will have it.

Anyway their vehicle either crashed or got hit by a mortar, I don't think anyone died and she broke her leg.

As I understand it, she was involved in a firefight, injured, and subsequently taken to a hospital where she was apparently cared for appropriately by the medical staff. At some point, the Special Forces came to the hospital and "rescued" her. The "conspiracy" is why a SOF unit would be required to "rescue" a soldier from a hospital where she was being treated by non-combatant medical staff and which was not directly controlled by enemy forces. It is possible that the rescue operation was really quite routine, but was perhaps embellished for political gain, and/or that the participation of Special Forces was more for training or similar purposes rather than being because their presence was necessarily required due to the dangers of the environment. For the record: I don't know. Just winging it.

Funny thing about that. Elements from my unit were attached to her rescue party. I lost friends that day, all because she panicked and got lost.

Tell me again how it's not true so i can call you an asshole...

I had a friend killed at the Boston Bombing, so I feel you on that. Lost 2 kids at Sandy Hook too.

Those boston bombs blew my jeans right off my ass. My legs were fine though don't worry.

Well damn my kids just called. They're fine. It was all a joke. A silly, silly joke.

Oh wait I don't have kids. Who was that on the phone?

You think that's bad?

I lost 3000 friends on 9/11 when the flaming airplane weakened the steel beams, and the twin towers collapsed right on top of them.

Seriously, the last thing they ever said to me from under the rubble was one groaning, collective, "neeeeeeeever fooooooorget."

The memory is etched into my mind forever.

The sarcasm is strong with you.... Have an upvote

Yea, tell him. Army0fMe's got a fully-loaded AK and a surplus MRAP gassed-up and ready to mow your treasonous little ass right down. Him and the whole attachment he calls "unit." ;)

I didn't say it wasn't true though.

Can you provide more information about this? I don't know anything about it and if you know something straight from the source it would be great to hear it. You said people in your unit were killed? What branch and unit, if you don't mind? And how was she responsible?

I'm not going into specifics because i don't know how much is still classified. Basically her unit got ambushed and she took a wrong turn in a panic, got lost, crashed her truck (getting some folk from her company killed in the process) and got captured. The people who caught her were willing to give her over, but local forces weren't really willing to let her go without a fight.

Took the words directly from wikipedia. Classified my ass. They list the units, nothing was secret. You are a liar.

Mmmmkay. I guess Wikipedia is the absolute truth then. No sense in arguing with you since you read the article.

As for all the details, i wasn't there. I didn't go on the mission. But i had friends who did, and a couple of em came back wrapped in a flag and no longer breathing. Yes, the hospital was secure, but the route to the hospital wasn't. It was primarily a spec ops mission, but some regular forces were used to provide support. The support guys are the ones you don't hear about, even though they're usually the guys who take the the losses behind the scenes.

As for convincing you that I'm not a liar, i don't really give a shit. I was on the ground while you were back here reading obscure internet pages and thinking you're smarter than everyone else. I have absolutely nothing to prove to you or anyone else.

I was on the ground while you were back here

I was in the army, try again. Also, I don't want you to convince me of anything. I pointed out that you are full of shit. That is all. It isn't a challenge. It's a fact.

I'm full of shit. Two friends of mine died while pulling security for the spec ops guys on that mission and I'm full of shit. You go ahead and keep believing that, sparky.

Lemme guess...you were some National Guard REMF who rarely....if ever....left the toasty confined of your FOB during your cushy deployment, yet still drawing disability claiming PTSD for a couple of mortars that landed somewhere in the vicinity of the air conditioned internet tent? That gave you plenty of time to learn about every engagement of Operation Iraqi Freedom, every unit and their movements? Sound about right?

Nope. Wrong on every count.

Since you were apparently there at the time, you are not in the best position to remember all the stories about the hot little patriot who single-handedly fought the entire Iraqi army, down to the last bullet, while trying to protect her comrades. I'm surprised there isn't a version of the story where she used a US flag as a tourniquet.

I doubt that anybody has ever seriously said it didn't happen. The issue with Lynch, as she has said herself, is that the story the media fed us was pure propaganda. It did happen, it just didn't happen the way were we told and an inordinate amount of resources were spent to 'rescue' her.

That professional liar Bryan Whitman from the video, looked him up..., an image board was right again

Fair enough. You're right...i wasn't aware of all the hoopla surrounding her back home.
