Jessica Lynch is an attractive lady from West Virginia. She was once a soldier serving with US forces in Iraq. She was under fire and, according to the Great American Dream only surrendered after all her colleagues were killed and she had used up all her own ammunition.
She was rescued by some very brave soldiers, taken back to the US and feted as a heroine. The brave girl who took on the Iraqis, fought them with all her might and - against all odds - survived.
Today she appeared before a Congressional committee to tell the world that she was not a heroine. She apparently hid in her truck and prayed. She obviously felt it was time to bring the truth to the wider world.
I don't blame her. Had I found myself in her position I would have been messing my pants and begging whichever deity who might be listening to save me.
Jessica, now a mother, must have mustered up a great deal of courage to come before the world with her story.
Telling the truth takes all the courage in the world in this age of spin and deceit. Who do these liars think they're kidding - only themselves in the end.
Jessica Lynch is now a true heroine because she told the plain, unvarnished truth.
