Just
a Coincidence? Four of Jessica Lynch's Rescuers Have Died
Mysteriously
A
few nights ago I saw a preview of Saving Jessica Lynch. It was
all I could do to contain the gray matter.
I was extremely busy and
without access to a computer during the "rescue." A week after
PFC. Lynch was returned to American custody, I heard incredulous
stories of a heroic young soldier, Rambo-style shooting at the
enemy until out of bullets, and who endured stab wounds and
torture until she was dramatically rescued in perfect made-for
TV fashion.
And then the BBC aired the
infamous documentary, essentially labeling the Pentagon's
version of events as a work of fiction. I trust the BBC over the
Pentagon.
Sure enough, PFC Lynch has
selective amnesia and cannot remember the events of her capture
and rescue, though that hasn't stopped her from a million dollar
book deal with the NY Times most recent plagiarist du jour, Rick
Bragg.
When the Department of Defense
insisted on keeping up their official version of the rescue, I
knew that inevitably some of Lynch's rescuers would be hushed.
After all, here is a woman who endured a few broken limbs from a
vehicle accident and is rewarded with a million bucks, while her
rescuers continue to live without toilets and running water in a
Depleted Uranium wasteland. Her Bronze Star has outraged many
veterans. At some point even the threat of an untimely demise
will not keep some disgruntled military folks from talking.
Eerily enough, four of PFC
Lynch's rescuers and colleagues have met an early demise.
NAVY Petty Officer First Class
David M. Tapper died of wounds received in Afghanistan. He took
part in the rescue.
MARINE Lance Cpl. Sok Khak Ung
was killed in a drive-by shooting. He was also part of the
rescue team.
ARMY Spc Josh Daniel Speer
died when his car crashed into some trees for no apparent
reason. He was part of the rescue team.
Kyle Edward Williams, who
worked in the same company as Lynch, died of "suicide".
"A Tucson man was shot to
death outside a West Side hotel Wednesday after breaking into a
vehicle and being confronted by its owner, an Army soldier, who
shot him in the back and fled, police said Friday.
The soldier, Spc. Kyle Edward
Williams, 21, was found dead outside San Diego on Thursday and
officials believe he committed suicide with one of the seven
firearms he had been carrying with him.
He left no note to explain
the suicide or why he fired six shots at Noah P. Gamez, also 21,
after spotting the man stealing an ice chest from his Jeep.
Williams spent seven months in
the Middle East as part of the 507th Maintenance Company, the
same unit as Pfc. Jessica Lynch, Army officials said.
He didn't have any
disciplinary or mental health problems before he left Fort
Bliss, Texas, at the end of September for 20 days of leave
before moving to a new military job, the officials said."
But this statistically
improbable occurrence is just a coincidence.
