...is a travesty. I really respect him highly.

1. That was pretty sad.

I wonder if he thinks the only reason he survived was because of God's love (like that Hispanic dude claimed)?

2. Kidding right? Behind every smear on John Kerry, and defender of McC, because he was a POW

Still living the we would have won Vietnam if we bombed more.

3. AFAIC, that guy is a wet shit-stain on the MOH's legacy. . .

In contrast, another MOH recipient says:
(snip)
Maj. Gen. Patrick Brady, who was awarded the Medal of Honor for actions on Jan. 6, 1968, near Chu Lai, South Vietnam said the following of the Medal of Honor: "I was awarded the Medal of Honor, but my fellow soldiers who supported me in the actions and took the time to write it up earned it. I wear it for them. They own my medals. And every Medal of Honor recipient and hero I know believes as I do. Medals should be a sign of patriotism, a symbol of sacrifice, support and defense of a great nation. The highest form of patriotism is service to our youth; heroes also wear their medal for them to signal the importance of courage. Heroes do not use their medals for personal political gain. As I said they are not theirs to use."
