[Carrie]

Spaz, she is saying that she doesn't remember him whatsoever, and claims that she *does* remember all of the people she interacted with in the hospital. This is probably part of the "blocking out" that she's done, or he simply didn't go into her room and speak with her like he said he did. Perhaps he exagerrated that part a bit for dramatics and really just stood outside her room looking in through the glass.

As for her saying the rescue was overplayed - how would she know? Her view of the entire thing consisted of having a bunch of Marines come into her room, grab her and carry her out to the copter, and flying out. She has no idea - and can have no firsthand idea - of what those guys went through to get in there to get her.

I don't think you have to come home in a body bag to be a hero. I am thankful to everyone - man or woman - who has put on a uniform and protected my freedom. They're all heros to me and deserve to be treated a lot better than what they get.
