The father of a soldier killed in an incident in Iraq that former prisoner of war Jessica Lynch survived said that Lynch’s million-dollar book deal will taint the memory of the soldiers killed in the ambush.

Randy Kiehl, the father of Army Specialist James Kiehl said quote “Pretty severe, isn’t it? That she makes money off the death of my son and off the deaths of so many others.”

On Tuesday, a publisher announced that Lynch signed a $1 million deal for a book that will tell Lynch’s story. Kiehl called Lynch a profiteer and said he also blames the publisher and others who waved that million-dollar check in front of her.
