The sarcasm is directed to those who are acting as if Mr. Morgenstern had been outed as part of some leftist media plot. He knew he was appearing on nationwide media and that they were planning on using his name. He obviously isn't concerned about it, and as for recognition and praise I think he deserves all that we can give him. He may well have saved the lives of some servicemen and in this case he is every much a hero as they are.
Gotcha.
