Roger Donlon, Bob Howard, Drew Dix, Lawrence Joel, Brian Thacker, Bill “Chickenman 6” Adams, Roger Dimsdale, Mike Peck, Earl “Bud” Greer, Barry McCaffrey, and many others with whom I served over the years.
Look ‘em up, you might learn something about what it means to be a hero.
Hmm, so I’m reading intolerant rants from a leftist Vietnam vet Hussein Head?
Thank you for your service, but no one seems to be buying your derision of Lakin, and I can’t respect you for telling us who should not be allowed to live based upon your assessment of their intelligence.
Yes, all, let’s do read about centurion’s “heroes”. I won’t argue about a Medal of Honor winner, but let’s take a look at one that LEFTIST Wikipedia seems to like:

What do you say to wounded warriors about a CinC that kept their surgeon off the battlefield, simply because the Cinc refused to show a common, ordinary document he stated was in his possession?
Those wounded warriors understand the surgeon was acting in the highest principle, what can you say about their CinC?
Just a question. Do all the men you cited have the same opinion as you have? If so it points out to me that our military today has various ideas of what service is all about. As a vet of WWII , no combat but was very close to invading Japan and a lone brother killed on Okinawa, I too believe in the sanctioning of obedience to orders down to the buck private. However, the military exigency of my war was not the same as today’s wars insofar as National interest. And above all, then and now, the Constitution of our Nation is above all considerations. As such I can accept someones argument that with due consideration for other obligations they believe that obedience to the Constitution is paramount to any lower level of requirements.
