Did you mean to have the word "never" in that sentence? :P

It's really too bad we don't know for sure who she really was. From my understanding, she actually boosted the moral of our troops. They would deliberately tune in to that station to listen to her. The troops got a kick out of it, and her female voice was nice to listen to. If anything I think she provided a welcome distraction from the hell our troops went through.

The US should learn a lesson from this and broadcast a station with Playboy bunnies DJing or something. It may sound stupid, but when you are in country for an extended period of time, little silly crap like this can mean a lot.
