Hero or Greedy American?

How exactly, is she a hero? Her humvee got hit by a rocket, she is one of the few (if not the only one) to survive, and she's a hero? Lucky maybe. Survivor, maybe. But hero? Why? Her biography said she was raped, the doctors say she wasn't. SO.... Hero or Greedy American?

We all need a blond haired blue eyed "hero" to get all emotional over. If not, how would the american cattle keep finding reasons to believe in this action? From what I understand, she was turned down at evil wal-mart, so she joined the military.

I don't know that she's a hero, but I do know one thing: it takes a hell of a lot more guts to even end up in Iraq than it does to sit in your armchair and speculate, to criticize from afar. Is she a hero? I don't know. But I doubt the word could be twisted in such a manner to make it apply to you folks.
