I'm about an hour away from West By God Virginia. They're interesting people down there. Military service is almost a given, in the state. But they pride themselves on their independence. "A mountaineer always will be free." They are also the butt of some very nasty jokes courtesy of their neighbors in Ohio, Virginia, and Pennsylvania. PFC Lynch may have been scared of being seen as a hick and a hillbilly. To the credit of her critics, they haven't made any Jed Clampett jokes. I hope that continues.
