McGovern more than deserved a DFC, and probably got one. He flew B-24's out of Italy.

OK. You don't "win" one. It's not a lottery.

I have no doubt that McGovern deserved his DFC. However, I remember in the 72 election that McGovern wanted to cut the military by 1/2 across the board. This during a time when the Soviets were expanding everywhere. Imagine, the American forces that made up NATO cut by 1/3. How do you think the Soviets would have reacted to that?

What Ann Coulter states is true - since the end of WW II, everytime that the United States is threatened, the Democrats want to sit down and talk to the enemy. They commend Castro while vilifying Bush. The left are also hypocritical. They point out that McGovern won a DFC and point him out a a war hero. However, when up against two individuals that actually served their country - Bush and Dole - the liberals ignore their combat efforts while carrying water for Clinton, the draft dodger. And while we are on the subject, while the leftist media points out that Kerry served in Vietnam, how many follow up with the fact that he threw his medals away during a war protest.
