Partly.
Please help enlighten me pals on why everyone is worshipping her.
Is Ms Lynch's story any worse than other soldiers? No. Is it more compelling because she is a woman? Possibly. Did the media wrap themselves up in this story to whip us into a frenzy of patriotism so that we would rally around this invasion? Most likely.
I doubt that Ms. Lynch ever intended her story to be covered so much by the media. I feel that the media has created a hero to help justify this invasion. I'm not at all implying that her actions are not heroic, just the media picked up this story and ran with it.
I think Ms. Lynch was a soldier just doing her job.
