Okay, I make a pledge not post on this thread anymore. On to the next controversy...
I certainly understand your point of view but the fact of the matter is that the Purple Heart was given as a gift from a soldier to his commander in chief, not as a medal earned in combat. Were that the case, I would be in 100% support of your position. I don't see in any way how this denigrates the meaning behind the medal. The soldier earned it by being wounded in combat. He is so supportive of the President and what he's doing, that he felt it appropriate to give it to him as a gift. It's his choice, like it, or not.
What I find surprising is that some of the comments about the soldier makes him look like he doesn't understand the meaning of what's he's done. If ANYBODY understands the significance, it would be the soldier who earned the medal in the first place.
yes, this is sort of a silly argument to continue. I think we've all explained our postions pretty well, and we can agree to disagree like adults. I'm ready to let it lie.
Did you just call me a liar?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
