Don’t you see what this is really about? It is nothing more than a political ploy. It paints the military as a racist organization that blatently discrimates against minorities. Years later Obama rides in on his white horse to save the day. These men deserved the Medal of Honor but didn’t get it because of their skin color. I’m not buying it. If I could see those files then maybe but they are under wraps and none of us will see them thanks to the most transparent administration in history. Nobody ever said war is fair. Not to take anything away from these veterans but were white records reviewed for errors? Is this not reverse discrimination? If not, why not? Just asking.
How many of these MOH were awarded for just being PC?????
The standards for the MoH have changed from one era to the next and even during a single war. In WW2 the Army decided that because too many MoH’s has been awarded in previous wars that they would arbitrarily limit the number to (I believe it was) 1 per division for the Normandy invasion. A lot of deserving soldiers got screwdriver over in that one.
You know the order was given to go find 20-30 minorities to give medals in order to display how racist we were and how enlightened we are now.
Not every heroic act merits a medal of honor, and nobody doubts this group probably did something brave, as almost every active service member does at some point.
The real disgrace is that if any of them really were deserved, they are now tainted from being grouped with the “Affirmative action Medal of Honor” bunch.
I'm not buying it either, being as it's this administration. I heard on the news that these guys had at the time of their service received the Distinguished Service award. I'd want to know if any (and how many) minorities had earlier been awarded the Medal of Honor. And how many and under what circumstances whites received the Distinguished Service award instead of the Medal of Honor. Remember how the DOJ had to search to find a black killed by a white who went unpunished -- and came up with Zimmerman?
