"Big damn deal. If John F'n Kerry could "earn" three of them, they were already worthless."

I would advise against repeating that statement in the vicinity of anyone that EARNED one.

The craven act of an asshole like Kerry, is insufficient to diminish the hallowed significance of that Award.

Semper Fi

Hello! That is why I put the word "earn" in quotes.

My comment was that awarding those medals to people like them does cheapen what those medals are supposed to be about. I know that both of you agree with that. I'd bet that every FReeper out there would agree as well...

If it were under my control neither would have them.

Anyway, if you want to discuss how the award was diminished by Kerry's (and now Hillary's) acceptance of those awards, you'd have to talk to them.
