And now some clown with a religious persuasion claims that we reward the wrong thing -- this guy is a wimp because he was rewarded for saving his comrades' lives, not for killing the enemy. Bryan Fisher shot his mouth off about the most recent honoree (see here).

It reminds me of the complaint about the ex-Guantanamo detainee convicted in a NY court recently. Because he was judged guilty on only one of 244 counts, the right-whingers are saying it proves that civilian courts shouldn't be the place the captured terrorism accused should be tried. It seems to me to prove the opposite. What you can prove gets the verdict, but the complainers seem to think it's "sentence first, verdict after" when it comes to the detainees.

Amazing, I'd say, except after the last year or so, my ability to be amazed has been whittled away to a nub.
