17 Nov 10 - 01:47 PM (#3034516) Subject: RE: BS: Medal of Honor - earned From: gnu JtS... insulting in a way, isn't it? The only solace may be that this lad gets some breaks from people who wish to reward him in a fiancial/employment way when he gets home... for thousands that will not be the case and we have heard a lot lately from vets who don't get the help, whatever that might be, that they need both in the USA and CAN. Canuck vets held rallies and protests across the country recently to bring light to their situation. It's tragic. Sorry for the thread drift but it just reeeally pisses me off. My uncle fought for fourty years for help with medical problems... literally hundreds of docs, interviews, hearings... grrrrrrrrrr. Rant over. |

18 Nov 10 - 01:39 PM (#3035295) Subject: RE: BS: Medal of Honor - earned From: GUEST,Songbob 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. Bob |

People get them don't usually get them alive ... that is rare .. This soldier has more than just courage .. He said he life doesn't matter .. the other peoples lives do ... how many people today would do that. HE is a real hero, the real deal. |
