Isn't this kind of like getting upset about the fact that war includes shooting the enemy until they die?

Is Lessica Lych a hero or not (as in just an ordinary soldier) is debatable. I don't think this is an important question at all. She got captured, she got released. In some general sense she's a hero for serving, period.

However, the notion that there is no propaganda or certain images people want you to have when it comes to war and your side in it, it's extremely trivial. The most important propaganda is done on your own people. That is to keep your spirits up, your enemy the bad one, and to support the support. When people get caught doing it, is this bad, is this somehow condemnable? I don't think so, because simply this happens all the time. So no, I don't think it's such a big deal. People need hero stories, so you need to look for them and you can always beef up some story to make it a bigger one.

In short, I don't know what the problem here is.
