Obama blows off Medal of Honor recipients
This Ain't Hell (www.thisainthell.us) ^ | January 21st, 2009

Posted on 01/22/2009 4:51:30 AM PST by Doctor Raoul

According to TSO who was at the “Salute to Heroes Inaugural Ball”, this newly sworn-in President for the first time in 56 years blew off the ball (that’s 14 Inaugurations).

TSO is one of the Mil-bloggers at "This Ain't Hell".

A tradition for over a half century until "The Loser" with his nose in the air snubbed the Medal of Honor winners.

“the TRUTH lies somewhere in between”

No, it doesn’t.

and guys rumaging thru junk piles in Iraq for steel plate to up - armor our HumVees

That press conference with Rumsfeld where the Guard guy asked the reporter's question was disinformation by the media.

That clown's unit went north with up-armored vehicles. The day of the presser, 97% of their vehicles were complete, with the last several to roll out of the shop the next day.

And send me the link to where YOU were screaming for uparmor before everyone else.

ME screaming for up-armor?

What does that have to do with anything....?

The fact remains that Bush & Co.used the WORST case scenario to justify the immediacy of the invasion in 2003..and the ROSIEST case scenario for everything that would follow afterwards.

In essence they jumped into the pool without checking the water.....and we were therefore on the learning curve for the next 4-5 years ..taking caualties needlessly....

I put this question to an Army officer stationed at Ft.Belvoir I met at a bar in Crystal City Arlington
one night in the fall of 2007 ..and he informed me that my assessment was correct.

A moral relativist?

Not really..but there are some things in this world that just don’t lend themselves to a strictly black and white interpretation..and there is the FACT that as long as human beings are doing the telling..there is the possibility of bias and distortion in the retelling....

Enjoy your Kool-Aid, you can even have my share.

Put it to somebody who's been working in various capacities in Operaation Iraqi Freedom for over five years and you might hear that your assessment is NOT correct.

Set me straight on something. If you are a Medal of Honor holder, doesn't the president have to salute you and you return the salute? Seems like I read that somewhere. It's one of the privileges of being a MoH recipient.

You’re real funny with that “DON’T ASK,DON’T TELL” quip.

The Army officer’s wife was with him at the bar that night....

I sure agree with you. We had to listen for eight years to the other trash our president and tell us he was selected not elected. I think there may be reasons in the future to protest something he does, but this is ridiculous. I also saw him at the Commander in Chief Ball and I enjoyed watching him talk with the men in Afghanistan.

Anyone seen a pic of Obama actually saluting troops since he usurped the office?
