That was a very bloody battle, which American GIs were fake heroes, who’s medals should we take back, the more than 200 purple hearts? the Medal of honor, the Presidential Unit Citation? Why would we go after our war dead, to appease who? I won’t do it.

I learn some things that just make me sick, I see some of that on this thread.

“Our Commanding Officer, Captain William Loren McGonagle, received the Congressional Medal of Honor

Our Executive Officer, Lieutenant Commander Philip McCutcheon Armstrong, received the Navy Cross posthumously

Several men received the Silver Star Medal, some posthumously

Several men received the Bronze Star Medal, some posthumously

205 men received the Purple Heart Medal, 34 posthumously

All crewmen received the Combat Action Ribbon

All crewmen share the Presidential Unit Citation”

Why are you deliberately twisting what I said?

Our troops have often been used as political pawns, and the Liberty was one of the worst examples ever.

Nobody is going after our war dead on this thread. Are you “on” something today?
