I wish the media would move on to another subject already — like Hillary’s emails.

Why do you think the media is so desperately churning out nonsense stories in as loud a manner as possible at this time?

If McCain was worthy of the CMH he would have been awarded it long ago. Without doubt he is a warrior hero of honor and a piss poor pilot. I am in awe of McCain the pilot and honorable warrior but that is a different subject. Yes, the North Vietnamese broke him. You can break any man and this should not be a stain on his record. He came back from captivity a broken man and this explains what McCain was.

McCain the politician is to be abhorred.

ps
I had the privilege to speak to one of the Helicopter Pilots that was portrayed in the movie, “We were Soldiers Once and Young” He did receive the CMH. I asked him why he did what he did, taking ammo in and wounded out. He did not have to do this and actually ignored orders. His answer was simple, he said, “I took those boys in and needed to take them out.”

It was a reunion of old chopper pilots of which my dad was one. He wore his CMH but was actually rather embarrassed about it. He only did it because all the other old war dogs insisted he do so.

Awards like this should not be given out just to make peace with politicians. It’s a slap in the face to real military heroes.

Who respects the Nobel Peace Prize anymore?

Ummm HELL NO!

The Medal of Honor means something really special! You don't just give it out for the hell of it!

Her entire column was just a big kick to a hornet’s nest. She knows exactly the responses she will get and she welcomes them.

He has already planned to the smallest detail, a 5 day tribute to himself.

True that. They made a good living pretending to be Conservative, as long as Conservatives didn’t have any power to actually implement their ideas. Sorta like the 1960’s and 70’s era Republicans who were happy being a massive minority in Congress.

The posthumous award would recognize the senator’s extraordinary heroism during his five years of captivity in North Vietnam, when he was tortured mercilessly, leaving him disabled for life.

There is just one, small, problem.

He did NOTHING 'heroic' to JUSTIFY being 'given' the MOH.

It would be BLASPHEMY to give it out like a Participation Trophy at a T-ball game.

The only reason they pretend to like him now is because he was a RINO who hated Trump.

Give TI a MOH for his exemplary HEROISM in stating it!!
