Nope..they don't. it devalues the PH. They are not in a hostile country. They were not part of an orchestrated attack. This was one ignorant idiot with no direction in life that wnted to 'belong'. Just because this moron travels to those locations, does not imply he was sent back here on a mission. alot of those people that go to those jihad camps are inept morons that couldn't be trusted to load a magazine properly.
You are making ignorant assumptions about Abdulhakim Mujahid Muhammad which are not supported by facts.
Furthermore, there is evidence that the attack was indeed orchestrated. Authorities found evidence that this guy had cased facilities in numerous locations across the Eastern US. The fact that one Jihadist carried out the attack isn’t relevant to that fact.
And the Pentagon was not in a hostile country on September 11th. Moreover, anyone with any real military experience would know that the criteria for Purple Heart do not include that the incident occur in a hostile “country.”
The IslamOfascists who declared war on us are mainly a non orginazed army who who don’t wear uniforms as did the enemy in WWII.
The American born, Muslim Named and trained is just as much an enemy as one who kills Americans in Iraq or Afghn.
You may have served in Iraq as many of my relatives have and still are but they understand this is not the same kind of war where the enemy is a regular army, uniform wearing combatiant who understands the internation rules of warfare.
They are also living in American Cities and have or are trying to develop more attacks on American soil
The two terrorists who flew the plane into the Pentagon were living 6 miles from where I am sitting in San Diego as regular residents except they were the enemy and killed
Americans just as the IslamOfascists do in Iraq, AFghn, and have done in London, Spain, etc.
The American soldier who was killed and the other who was wounded are just as much victims of the war whether Ak, Iraq or Afghn.
You don't get out much do you ?
