“Not wanting to just ‘pick on’ a “D” Prez, but lets start with LBJ’s ‘Silver Star’ as a result of a flyover in a war zone.
Being on the Appropriations Program sure didn’t hurt his chances..”
Cheapens the award to the point where it`s meaningless. Reminds me of Frank Burns on MASH. Put in for a Purple Heart because he was “wounded” in a war zone. A piece of egg shell got in his eye when he was cracking open a hard boiled egg.
You're right in your statement about the awards being cheapened, however, there are plenty of real life examples taht would be worth citing instead of using fictional ones - especially leftist fictional ones.
Here's a great example: Stolen Valor by B.G. Burkett and Glenna Whitley
