Now that O’dumdum throws those things from parade floats, they kind of lose their importance.

Since the Vietnam War, when medals were handed out like candy, the degradation of medals has only gotten worse. Colonels in Nam got Silver Stars for merely being in country for6 months. The DOD issued more medals for Grenada than there were sevicemen on the island. Soldiers stationed in the States or Europe got the same preference as those who served in the war zone. Today you see more medals on some clerk who never left thd States than Admiral Halsey had. Civilian medals are even more degraded. The Freedom Medal is now officially worthless.

I think I threw up a little watching that mockery of the presidential medal of freedom.

Might as well have given it to his pet dog.

Nobel peace prize to dip$hit Obama

Knighthood to Elton John, Bob Geldoff, Paul McCartney, etc

Medal of freedom to moron Biden

Just more evidence that Obama has no understanding of the purpose of the Medal of Freedom. He thinks awards like that and the Nobel Peace Prize are for belonging to the “right” ideology, not for actual achievement. Biden should have been crying from embarrassment, not gratitude, except that of course he’s a member of the “right” ideology, too.

This is like Dostoyevsky’s The Inspector General. Obama as Danny Kaye. No offense to Danny Kaye’s descendants or his memory

Biden wanted to know if that meant that people had to start calling him, Sir Joe Biden.

I think what would be appropriate would be for Trump to fill out his cabinet and then award everyone in the new Trump administration with one. At the ceremony he could say “Øbongo set the bar so low that anyone could get one - so everybody gets one!”

Bidet get’s his Participation award, devaluing it for those who have truly EARNED it.

Kinda like “Surprise!!! Here’s a Nobel Prize for you Mr. Obama sir!!!”

BO ought to resign next week and let SlowJoe drive for a couple of days—just to make DJT’s “USA45” hat obsolete.

I respectfully disagree. I have known heroic men who (as an example) were awarded the Distinguished Flying
Cross (Helicopters in Vietnam) and I have read their citations - they are not all still with us, but their heroism lives on eternally!
