Sorry to post this here but I just wanted to make a comment that I would rather read a book and see a movie about the five soldiers who survived the Iraq soldiers after they went to repair a vehicle and took a wrong turn in the desert. They were filmed by the enemy, thought to be murdered and were hidden and moved from place to place. One soldier touched everyone's heart. She was a 30 year old cook (chef) with a young baby at home in Texas. I think her name was Shemika? I will never forget seeing the five soldiers who were not trained for POW capture. Does anyone remember when we got the news and saw them all walking down the dirt road and Shemika was wounded and limping? Now that is the story I want to read. They all remember their time as POW's unlike: is it Jessica "$ix or $even figures" Lynch who remembered nothing about her ordeal. It really boils me that Lynch is getting all the money & attention. Is it because she is considered to be "decent" looking, young, female and Caucasian? I say this as a Caucasian myself.
What happened to those five soldiers and why isn't their story being told?
