Sorry, Annie. Hack is right on in this article. Purple Heart? Okay. POW Medal. Okay. Bronze Star, no way.

Bronze Stars are given out like candy, if a soldier is on the front lines they get a BS.....

Many were given in Viet Nam

DSC, Silver Stars and the Medal of Honor are a lot harder to get.

If you were in a front line position and an enemy bullet came at your unit you could get a Bronze.

Sad maybe, but it is not unusual. Let it go.

If she got a Silver or DSC then I would complain.

While I might agree with you there, this writing is just another indication of what an amazingly arrogant twit this guy has become. ("And, of course, many of us know....") And, by the way, how does he know that troops - past and present - are unhappy? And what is his proof that "more than half" of female soldiers in Iraq are pregnant?
