Here’s one of my favorite memories of 2003 – The Jessica Lynch Rescue Hoax
First we heard about Jessica Lynch as a private who was attacked and fought down to here last bullet – even whipped out her knife, because she would not be taken alive!
Then we see the staged rescue where she was supposedly being held captive at the hospital.

The other four people Miller saved

Turns out:
1) She was in a convoy accident/She was never in combat
2) She was being treated very nicely in the Iraqi hospital. There was no need to rescue her.
3) There actually was a hero that day – Patrick Miller – whose story the government decided to cover-up because it made their made up heroics for Jessica look bad.
4) He’s such a devoted soldier, he doesn’t want to make a big deal about it.
This has all been confirmed by both the BBC and 60 Minutes.
Here’s a playlist of these clips so you can see them all easily, whenever it’s convenient for you.
If those files are too large for you for some reason, I have them broken down into two and/or three parts here.
