Keith - it doesn't matter *how* her vehicle was wrecked, she got a
Purple Heart for her injuries sustained from a vehicular accident.
Even if she wasn't in a vehicle and a RPG had landed near her and she
she was injured from frag or blast directly from the explosion, she
would and should recieve the same medal...a Purple Heart. The Bronze
Star is not deserved for anything she has done, as the other two
medals have covered everthing already.

That analogy was over his head.I thought it was pretty clever. (grin)

It wasn't clever, nor was it over my head. An IRA bombing on a boat
has nothing to do with PFC Lynch since the only thing that happened to
her was an auto accident. She wasn't shot, she wasn't stabbed, she
wasn't beaten. Bad analogy and a bad argument.


The auto accident was of course a result of a truck being hit
by an RPG, damm few drivers manage to retain control in
such circumstances, similarly few boaters manage to swim ashore
after their vessel is bombed.

The analogy is accurate.
