  • Jessica Lynch story. Tons of media attention....but a heavy set black female soldier had as many injuries as her. You'll forgive me if I don't know her name. It's all about thin white girls in uniform. The media forgot about the others. tsk tsk.

  • Somehow, we still tolerate each other. Eventually this will be the only forum left.

I won't argue about the whole media attention thing, but Lynch's injuries were actually judged more serious than Shoshana Johnson's by the Army, which accounts for their (initial) discrepancy in pension payments. (Link is to Snopes.com article on the subject.)</div>
