Bush receives Purple Heart

[lookingforitallthetime]

I wonder how the veterans here feel about this:

http://www.kdhnews.com/news/story.aspx?id=15367

Thomas said he and his wife came up with the unprecedented idea to present the president with the Purple Heart over breakfast one morning a few months ago as they discussed the verbal attacks, both foreign and domestic, the commander in chief has withstood during his time in office.

"We feel like emotional wounds and scars are as hard to carry as physical wounds," Thomas said.

The medal was awarded to Thomas on Dec. 18, 1965, following injuries he sustained while serving in heavy combat with the 173rd Airborne Brigade in Vietnam.


Due to Bush's incompetence, young men and women are dieing and he has the audacity to act like the victim. It's simply appalling that he would receive this medal and says a lot about his character (or lack thereof).

Someone should remind Bush he was doing rails chased with scotch when Thomas received his wounds.

There should be a lot of fur flying over this yet the news of the day is Paris Hilton getting released from jail.

I don't buy the Bush-is-Cheney's-puppet argument. It certainly doesn't explain his actions in this example.

When it comes to being a scumbag, Bush doesn't need anyone pulling his strings.

As Bush has killed the office of POTUS , I agree, it should be awarded to the POTUS symbolically. Then they should do whatever it is they do to people who kill such offices.

Awarded for : "Being wounded or killed in any action against an enemy of the United States or as a result of an act of any such enemy or opposing armed forces"

Don't take away his only defense: "I only followed orders"

Give them a presidential library in Crawford, Texas?

It's boyond irony that someone who's never been in a library would get one built in his name.

He was once in a librarian. Does that count?

Funny, I have heard little about Bush getting the medal. I think this is yet another internet hoax.

W may be a boob, but he isn't evil personified either. Of course, political leanings may mean you see things differently, but there is no truth here, just a bunch of libreals with yet another excuse to jump on Bushie. I guess the truth doesn't need to be a factor when you can call people names.

God knows Bush has a lot to answer for, but dump on him for things that actually happen, not your leftwing wet dreams....

 

[Bearlythere]

Also, He would know better than to take a medal award to members of the Military. He understands their code of honour and their traditions better than most of the knee jerk libreals who dump on the military at every chance....

Nice try dumbass.

1) I'm not a "Liberal with yet another excuse to jump on Bushie"

2) The Kileen Daily Herald isn't a left wing "wet dream".

Stick your head in the sand if you want but when I read crap like this, it explains how an idiot like Bush can get elected twice.

Stupid idea, while I'm sure his heart (pun intended) was in the right place it sends the wrong message....

Wow, you're 0 for 2 today!

Check Bush's military record, not a lot of honour to talk about (remember the Purple Heart bandages at the 2004 GOP convention?).

You're right about one thing, he should have known better than to take the medal.

You would think his political handlers would have told him not to take the medal. Honour aside, it's bad politics.

I also believe Bush thinks of himself as a victim and am not surprised that he would accept the medal.

I don't think Bush sees himself as a victim (although remember the "vast right-wing conspiracy" bunker mentality) but it was bad politics. At this point he may not care about the politics.

I'm sure he doesn't care about politics.

He should care more about those who put themselves in harms way and legitimately receive the honour. Particulalry those who receive it posthumously.

Words may hurt but bullets and shrapnel kill.
