Is it correct that she's getting a million $ to tell her story?
Obviously it is good she made it home safe and sound, and has done nothing wrong, but I just can't help the feeling of it being a whole "Wag the Dog" (Hoffman/De Niro movie) scenario.
It seems that the PR machine jumped into overdrive and took advantage of her unfortunate situation. She gets hurt in the crash, gets cared for by Iraq doctors, is rescued (filmed with night vision for appropriate dramatic effect) when there was no resistance, and raced to safety while everyone laps up the drama.
Again, happy she is safe and don’t begrudge her any money that is derived from her risking her life by serving in Iraq, but it seems to me that the spin-doctors are at work again.
