1. She's been through enough hell. Whatever she's doing, I say
leave her alone.

3. I agree. If she wants to get her opinion of what's going on out to
the public, it should be her choice, but she should not be hounded by anyone. Bless this girl, she has been through Hell and I wish her the very best.

4. She's going to WVU
There was a small piece on her recently in Time magazine.

The state of WV is giving her a full scholarship. She still needs to walk with a cane due to her injuries and she's still in physical rehab. The article didn't say as much, but Lynch did mention often thinks of her friend Lori Prieweista (sp?) who got killed, so there might be some PTSD there, too.

She makes no apologies for being the military's poster girl or for accepting the scholarship, saying that other people would do what she did if they were in her position. I'm a bit disturbed by those views, but I'm reluctant to judge based on a four paragraph interview.
