Please enlighten us, as this article indicates that she was never deployed to Afghanistan, and that she was discharged in late August, 2K3.

oops, Iraq it be. The page I initially jumped through said Afghanistan. Just passing it along. I only remember her rescue being mostly a fabrication used to glamorize and justify an unjustifiable occupation.

Regardless of what we might think of the war, both Jessica Lynch and the army ranger served honorably.
