"...most decorated soldiers..."

Adolf Hitler and Hermann Goering were also very highly "decorated" soldiers. For that matter, John F'ng Kerry is "highly decorated".

Please explain to me how being "decorated" because of an event that happened to be witnessed by a higher up who happens to be looking for soldiers to dole medals out to, or being "decorated" because a cynic (like Kerry) knows how to squeeze a reward from a Military Institution, in any way guarantees future patriotism?

You and the rest demeaning Hack's accomplishments should read his biography. He's not some armchair warrior; he's walked the walk. I agree that doesn't make him right, but I would think you wouldn't go demeaning his service.

Is everyone who doesn't march in lockstep with the current administration a traitor or some other form of scumbag?
