American Warmonger

This is an image of sadness and death, not hope.

This family lost their father, husband and major breadwinner. Given how the Congress has so flatly gone out of their way to spurn benefits for veterans...this picture is even more bleak.

Sorry to disagree with you ma'am. This IS an image of hope. Would we not be proud of this man if he had not died? Would it be better for you if the man had lived so we could honor his actions?

When a medal of honor is given we are respecting or disrespecting a person's death. We are respecting the actions that person took. We are honoring the hero.

However, if you prefer to revel in the bleakness of all things there are several other places to do that. This is not what these posts are for. I apologize for confusing you.

Can we just support the troops without sticking in the "but"? (..I support them, but...)

W: Sorry my war took your Dad/ Husband. Here's a medal.

Son: THis medal can teach me to throw a curve ball!

Wife: Ah, a medal! Just what I was looking forward to growing old with!

Daughter: I'm so glad this medal will be there to walk me down the aisle on my wedding day!

It is a sad scene.

Let's fix this, shall we?

W: we are very proud of your husband and father. he voluntarily served his country, and gave his life under heroic circumstances, fighting to make the world a better place.

Son: i will always miss him, but I know he gave his life for his convictions.

Wife: Your Father did just that. he cared. He cared for his fellow soldiers, he cared about making the world a better place, and he cared about the plight of the Iraqi people.

Daughter: I'm proud of my Daddy for doing his duty, and saving the lives of so many others. God Bless Him.

Not so hard to treat a Medal of Honor winner and his family with respect, now, is it moonbats? Though I am sure you do not understand either the word respect nor honor.
