Yes, the nice, cute, little white girl is a Hero!
Now, who (without searching) can name the black woman that was captured with her? The one that went through interrogation by the Iraqis? The one that was scared shitless when they showed her image on the television? (While poor Jessica was out cold in the infirmary) Yes, the overweight, black female cook!
I guess a black, overweight, female cook just isn't a Hero....

Hit the nail on the head with that one. I identified with the black cook. When I saw her on the screen I clearly felt part of what she was experiencing. I feared for her. BTW what happened to her? I remember seeing footage of her and the others held with her running off a plane together a while after their rescue. The report said they were healthy. I thought for sure they would rape and torture her. If they didn't, I'm glad she didn't have to endure that.
Jessica on the other hand, I did not identify with. I never saw her fear.. only footage of her being whisked away half dead and hearing reports that all of the other guys of ours that were held with her were dead.
I secretly wondered if they went in shooting at anything that moved after they got their sites on her. I thought it was the stereotypical macho testosterone thing to do.... save your pussy at all cost. Now she has pretty much confirmed that. I'm glad JL is keeping it real and taking a stand against how she was portrayed. She might not be smart but she has good character.
Hey guys.. anyone else notice that now the presidential race in on the horizon we are seeing more good things creeping in our news reports like "Joblessness falls as payroll numbers grow again". I wonder what new miracle the president is going to work these next few months to clean his tarnished image?
