1. No, can't do that.
If we try we'll be "picking on that poor girl, and it wasn't her fault" or "how dare you talk about that day in an unpatriotic manner!"

3. She was in the wrong place at the wrong time
She had no control over how her story was spun by the military. She also has no obligation to "set the record straight". She is getting on with her life, we should do the same.

Seems like she wants to wallow in her fanciful past.

I will never "get on with it" - massive books are still published about Nazi propaganda. I expect the same fate will befall all this Lynchiana.
