It's too bad that Bradley Manning didn't torture and kill people instead of telling us about it

34. I was responding, with specificity, to the OP's assertion that torturers are greeted as

"awesome" with two specific examples to the contrary.

Which "top torturers" received "Medals of Honor?"

Most recipients of that award are either dead, or grievously wounded in combat. So I'd really like a few names of "top torturers" who "received Medals of Honor" because I think your "facts" are way out of order.

I'm going to make it easy for you, too--here are the lists, with photos, of the servicemembers who were awarded the MoH post-Vietnam, so you'll find all the Iraq/Afghanistan awardees there. Please point out the torturers:

Is the late Robert Miller a torturer? He diverted the Taliban so his fellow servicemembers could escape and survive. How about Dakota Meyer, who rescued 36 people--23 of them Afghan allies--from certain death; is he a torturer?

How about the late Marine Corporal Jason Dunham, the late Army Spc. Ross McGinniss and the late Navy Petty Officer Mike Mansoor? They jumped on GRENADES to save the lives of their fellow servicemembers, and died in the process. Are they torturers?


You have the list of MoH awardees I have provided to you; now tell us--which ones are "torturers?" If you can't find any, and I don't think you can, you need to retract that statement you made. It is offensive in the extreme to those who have served in uniform. It's even more offensive to their families.
