I know this is probably a silly question, but has Obama made any statement about this?
To: Secret Agent Man
You just have to know that Obama would like to court martial him.France giving him that medal kind of squashed that.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Obama still orders a court marshal.

I pray that he can handle all the well deserved recognition.
He has truly earned every word and medal heaped upon him.

He might get a Purple Heart.
But then again, they may determine that he has not risen to the level of a John Kerry (who fought in Vietnam, you know).

To actually wear the “Ordre national de la Légion d’honneur” as insignia on uniform requires approval of high command. I think he has got that here!
It would be interesting to see him serve in Europe or where French Military are found (SOCOM) and watch the bugged-out eyes of the uninformed. This is a VERY SIGNIFICANT honor!

I know this is probably a silly question, but has Obama made any statement about this? Obama personally called them and talked to them for longer than just a greeting. I think that he did what we would want our President to minimally do!

This is a good award. Analogous medals exist in the three branches and are awarded most commonly for lifesaving actions outside of combat. Sure, we could make an argument that they were in combat. Delighted to hear it. The young airman will probably find more conversations created when people ask what that red one is, the one with the gold stripes on either side of the black and red circle.

Uhh.... That’s court MARTIAL. If you’re going to make silly statements at least try to spell everything correctly.
