A recent Gawker post discusses the fact that Amorita Randall, a servicewoman quoted in last Sunday's NY Times Magazine's article on women in the military and the impact of the war in Iraq on them, did not actually serve in Iraq.
I don't mean to knock Randall. She's obviously mentally ill. And in fairness to Sara Corbett, the author of the piece, she does sound a bit reticent about Randall's remarks. But let's be honest here. There are thousands of women who have served in the military. There are probably a fair amount who would be happy to talk to the NY Times. But people want stories with bite. And Randall's issues and her "rememberances" of the alleged IED attack those issues on definitely have bite.
Something to think about.
