I am as patiotic as the next, served 10 years in the Navy myself, but this award sickens me. I almost feel ashamed to have been in that branch. Yes he served, yes he sacrificed, and I thank God for our military men and women, but his heroism 35-40 years ago is no substitute for heroism or courage today.

Vision and loyalty, are you kidding me! It is by his words he has placed our young men and women into the very same circumstances he hated in Vietnam. Politicians screwed our troops over then and those same men are now doing the same in return, and for what? Political gain!

I've never posted a message on a bulletin board before but this here riles me up.
