Apparently, Hillary sponsored a bill supporting the issuance of the Purple Heart stamp by the USPS. There may be other things, I suppose.
"Is this for real?"
Not really. Read the thread for more info.
Oh, that does make a little more sense.
"I would have helped if maybe he came here and had the guts to defend his post."
Well, I went and looked through his postings. He posts a few of these stories a month. It's rare that he returns to a thread, although he occasionally does to counter someone who's ticked off. He came back once in this thread. Most threads, however, are post and run.
He did change the headline in this piece, along with the first sentence, and the mods made the headline change. I imagine that was due to the protests in the thread about the untrue original headline.
I will begin fact checking NewsMax posts from now on, especially when Carl posts them.
Personally, as I have said, I believe that NewsMax should be in Bloggers/Personal.
Here's a thread on why Hillary got the plaque from this organization. It's interesting, so I posted the news story:

Thank you. :)
Lord, what did we do to deserve this?

If this isn't parody, it is unspeakable.
Is this a joke?
Probably more deserved than any of John Kerry's.
"Washington, DC — Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton was awarded the Inspirational Leadership Award by Jim Randles, National Commander for the Military Order of the Purple Heart (MOPH). Also present for the award ceremony was Richard Weeks, New York State Commander, MOPH, who is from Albany, New York. One Member of Congress is chosen for this award each year. Senator Clinton is the first woman to receive this honor."I dislike The Hildabeaste more than most people. But I don't think you should publish stuff that didn't happen.
Carl, this is nuts. No, not your reporting.
Oh, horse hockey. I can't imagine her getting anywhere near a recruiting station.
Heck, it sounds to me like the people who awarded this thing to her are the ones that are a few cans short of a six-pack.
This for the "wife" of a man who is quoted as "loathing the military"?
I would expect better from Newsmax.
