Yea, you read that right<\/a>, a douche bag<\/del> columnist for the American Family Association Bryan Fischer<\/a> seems to think so. Here is is Bio<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“When we think of heroism in battle, we used the think of our boys storming the beaches of Normandy under withering fire, climbing the cliffs of Pointe du Hoc while enemy soldiers fired straight down on them, and tossing grenades into pill boxes to take out gun emplacements. That kind of heroism has apparently become pass\u00e9 when it comes to awarding the Medal of Honor. We now award it only for preventing casualties, not for inflicting them.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Really? Then explain cases like Desmond T. Doss <\/a>who not only earned the Medal of Honor while saving lives, he was a conscientious objector. (The first of two<\/a> confirmed so far) <\/p>\n

It gets better, his excuse is that it was be cause he based his baseless claims on someone’s else baseless claims that it must be true. <\/p>\n

Fischer based his claim on a line in a column in The Wall Street Journal by William McGurn, a former speechwriter for President George W. Bush. In the midst of his high praise for Giunta’s heroism, McGurn noted that rather than “Rambos decorated for great damage inflicted on the enemy,” every Medal of Honor awarded from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan “has been for an effort to save life.”<\/p>\n

In fact, that’s not exactly the case. The official account of the first Medal of Honor given for service in Iraq, to Army Sgt. First Class Paul R. Smith, shows how, among other courageous acts, Smith “braved hostile enemy fire to personally engage the enemy with hand grenades and anti-tank weapons,” losing his life in the process.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It is like he is activity ignoring every single MOH award write up? The things people will write when playing arm chair general. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
