Didn't the government prop her up as a would-be 'war hero'?
yes. big story about how she emptied both clips then her sidearm, i believe.
Truth?
She was knocked unconscious at the first blast, was raped and beaten briefly by her captors, then dropped at the hospital where her doctor was fired at trying to return her. Later, they did a 'daring' rescue on an empty hospital to pull her out.
It was war propaganda. but that's the problem - we don't know what else has been propaganda. This week, we know that WMD intel was fudged, Tillman death fudged, Lynch story fudged.... at what point do we look at OTHER things the white house tells us with a suspicious eye? We know they lied about some things, yet we blindly swallow everything else. Strange.
