[Samurai]

This vid is hard to find, thanks for posting it.

Who was involved in the rescue?, I heard seals weant in and rangers set up the perimeter.

[Spartan XV]

Can somebody set up a link on rapidshare or something, becasue Im sure its good, but I dont think its 4hr DL good.

Thanks

"operation", "retrieve", nothing about a rescue, she wasn't in a harmful situation, they just went in and got her.

[ABNINF]

Having known someone that was on the raid, there were enemy soldiers in the immediate vicinity, but there was only very sporadic resisitance and the Iraqis retreated very quickly, leaving behind weapons and changing clothes.

Rescue of Pfc Lynch

SEAL: Tell me where the **** is Pfc Jessica Lynch?
Iraqi Doctor: Room 304, 3rd floor.
SEAL: GOGOGO!
Field camera team assistant: can you repeat that, the camera wasn't ready yet!
SEAL: Amateurs!
Iraqi Doctor: NO NO! Don't use the lift! After the embargo we don't have any spare parts for the lift, it has become a death trap!
SEAL: Nothing goes as planned in this ****ing op!
Field camera team assistant: Can you go over there to the spotlight, it's to dark for the camera!
SEAL: How are we supposed to earn the silver star without video documentation?
Field camera team assistant: Don't worry, we're just pixelating the whole scene until everything looks super secret!

[Aerosoul]

could someone provide an alternative link?

A silver star was wasted on lynch. She failed to do basic soldiering, directly resulting in the deaths of everybody else in her hmmwv.

[RGRBOX]

can someone rehost the vids... can see them... PFC Lynch didn't fail, her leadership failed her, and her fellow soldiers... I spent three years with an MI Bn, and they would have us Inf. types give them training from time to time... they couldn't shot, they wouldn't show up to training, and their NCO, and Officers where never around for any kind of combat training we did for them... can't blame the soldier for the lack of propper leadership...

hey, that's my website!!!

She didn't get a Silver Star she got a Bronze one

Doesn't matter, there are many other soldiers in her very unit on that day that deserve so much more then her. Have you heard about the soldier that single handly cleared a Iraqi trench by using his M16 and picking up AK's? No, some little girl gets captured and she's the hero!! It's sick.

[abncougar]

does anybody remember how lots of people wanted to give her the MOH?? fvcking rediculous, she was no hero, the boys that got her were heroes.

[towelie]

why did they give her a medal for surrendering?

[OzMan]

Also wasted a Purple Heart on her. Breaking your leg in a car accident shouldn't be considered as combat wounds. And when she returns to her unit, she claims amnesia. But a million-dollar book deal sure cleared her memory right up! Then they make a bullsh** TV-movie about it, which sucked.

Patrick Miller, another member of her unit, is a TRUE hero in the situation if there ever was one. He actually performed his soldiering duties by resisting capture, and convinced his captors that a list of radio frequencies was instead just a useless supply list.

He received a Silver Star, and very well deserved. But no one knows his f***ing story. Maybe if he had a ****** then people would care.

Scott O'Grady was blasted out of the sky over Bosnia. He also did his job but DIDN'T get captured. He survived for five days (nearly same timespan as Lynch?) on his minimal gear, plants, bugs, and reverted to his SERE training. He really was rescued by a team of Marines, and returned to flying.

He received no decorations.

Was that the guy in Behind Enemy Lines?

No that was an "Actor".

I read O'Gradys book years ago, picked it up in the store, started reading it and didnt put it down until i had finished it, and left the store, a good read.

[PaulClift]

The bbc did a good doucmentary about the so called rescue, with interviews with the doctors in the hopsital she was being treated in.

Its on torrentspy.

Yeah, I know it was an actor. But I was asking whether the actor was playing the role of O'Grady.

[SHAM]

No mention in O'Grady's book of being chased for miles and hiding in dead bodies, no mention either of a second man being executed etc etc.
From what i remember of the book, he went to ground and waited for the rescue team.

Considering Jean Hackman was in the Behind Enemy lines movies, i thought it was a remake of his old b.a.t. 21 vietnam era movie, with the reference to the golf course etc.

[MARINO]

About O'grady, i'v heard histories about Spanish and French SF making false operations to rescue him, to divert Serbs from the real one.
BTW nice vid, even if it was showed hundreads of times on TV

Calm down, since when did Medals not have anything to do with politics?

I believe you refer to Marine Captain Brian Chontosh's Navy Cross citation. It wasn't single handed, but it was still pretty bad ass.


BEL was inspired by O'Grady's story, but it's not a factual account by any means.

She was a cute poster girl, what else would you expect?

[towelie]

didnt she do some nuddie photos?

[Whitcomb]

of you want to know more about O'Grady, read Basher 52, looks like a kids book and is told by one, but it gets the story across.
