Really, you don't remember? Everyone else does.

Rambo image was based on lie, says US war hero Jessica Lynch | Iraq | Guardian Unlimited

She wrote a book to set straight the lies the government told about her. If she made a lot of money off that, you can blame the US government for telling the lies in the first place.

At the hearing, the chairman of the House panel, Henry Waxman, accused the government of inventing "sensational details and stories" about Tillman's death and Lynch rescue. After she arrived home, Lynch set the record straight in a book called "I Am a Soldier, Too."

"At first I didn't even realize … the stories that were being told," she said. "It was quite a while afterwards, and then I found out. It was a little disappointing. And I knew that I had to get the truth out there because, one, I wouldn't be able to live with myself ... knowing that these stories were portraying me to do something that I didn't."
