I just don't understand. Everyone here knows the story of Jessica Lynch and how she actually didn't fight against her Iraqi attackers, and that she was just captured without a firing a round. ""I did not shoot, not a round, nothing. ... I went down praying to my knees. And that's the last I remember. - Lynch"
She was awarded the Bronze Star, Purple Heart and Prisoner of War medals while still in the hospital in Washington, D.C.
Private Miller who was in the same convey fought off the Iraqi attackers used a single shot AR (it was jammed and had to be cycled manually to fire). He killed at least 7 Iraqi's while defending his comrades.
"'Get down, Miller! Get down! You're going to get hit!'" said another soldier, Spc. Edgar Hernandez, describing how Miller charged toward the Iraqis. Hernandez recalled hearing automatic fire from Iraqi AK-47s and the single shots of Miller's M-16 rifle."
While being interogated , Miller prevented the Iraqis from getting sensitive information by telling them it was part numbers for a car.
Miller for his heroics received the Prisoner of War Medal. Purple Heart. Silver Star.
Don't you think its freaking unfair that Miller is working in a low paying job as a mechanic while Lynch sold her story and probably got millions? And Lynch received pretty much the same medals for practically doing nothing. I'm not critizing Lynch or anything as she doesn't have a hand the outcome, but the the whole damn situation just bugs the hell out of me.
