Jessica Lynch injured by crash and saved by Iraqis not GI

"Some brave souls put their lives on the line to make this happen, loyal to a creed that they know that they'll never leave a fallen comrade." - General Vincent Brooks

Of course the media reported it, who the fuck else would? And how do you think the media got hold of the story? The media relies on US military information.

It was the military, however, that dramatised the situation. And if I am not mistaken, it was the military that filmed the whole evacuation, heroics and all.

The truth that is now emerging about what really happened to Private Lynch serves to underline the fact that imperialist wars are not just military affairs, but also ideological ones. While the actual fighting on the ground is taking place there is another equally important war at home to control public opinion.

I think there will be many more morale boosting stunts in the future. And many more morale boosting lies.

Even if the entire thing was somehow entirely concocted by the various 'independant' news outlets, do you think the military did not or would not have capitalized on the situation?

And I don't know what a DOD is, sorry. :/
