I’m not arguing with you. I’m pointing out that your claim is BS.

I’ll give you one example:

The anonymous piece: “A “war hero” doesn’t get 28 medals awarded all after-the-fact “for bravery” for no other reason than being shot down and captured and then go on a celebrity public relations tour because he’s the son of two acclaimed Navy admirals.”

That is what is called BS

McCain’s awards:

Silver Star (awarded for actions as a POW)
2 Legions of Merit, 1 w/ “V” (one awarded during a POW and one on retirement from the Navy - not bravery awards)
Distinguished Flying Cross (for combat flying)
2 Air Medals (these are not bravery awards, but for combat flying)
3 Bronze Stars with at least one V device

The rest are non combat, peacetime awards, or service medals. These are not bravery awards

So two bravery awards, not 28, and only one while flying combat.

The problem is not that the differences aren’t there between the two pieces, they are and they are glaring. The problem is with you, you can’t recognize the differences.

Good bye.
