He must know how ridiculous and how fucking rude this is? Surely?

(18,101 posts)After all, he said, Medal of Honor recipients accept on behalf of their entire teams, especially those that did not return from battle. And canines have long been part of war efforts.
This recognizes the dog is part of that team of brave people, he said.
Mr. McCloughan, who taught high school and coached youth sports after his military service, added that he had worked with a dog in Vietnam who helped detect enemy activity during missions.
They are very courageous, he said of military canines

Using that medal as a 'joke' is an insult to every man who has been honored with it and their families. A fair share of those men received it the hard way, posthumously.

He's beyond disgusting.
Haggis for Breakfast
(6,831 posts)as an example of his bereft understanding of the history of that troubled region, his inability to grasp complex military matters best left to those who do, and his utter failure of leadership.
The damage he has caused in this one reckless, foolish move will change the map of the ME for decades to come, ignite a whole new generation of terrorists, and destroy our global presence and reputation long after his sorry carcass is left to the worms.
I just have no words left. As an American, I am shamed. As a veteran, I am heart-broken.

(28,940 posts)Shamed and heart-broken, you too nailed it.
However, to quote a Tommy
I am wounded, but not yet slain
I'll lay me down awhile
Then rise and fight again.

No vip hospital rooms,no luxury prison,no sweeping the bad things they do under the rug.
If it's something bad they have done reject and judge thier acts like every one else.
Do not allow money make you tolerate the intolerable.
