A Silver Star for essentially driving a plow and burying people alive? Wow. They have certainly cheaponed the Silver Star.

No doubt. This guy is not even worthy of shining Audie Murphy's shoes.

Thank you for saying what needed saying.

Newt didn't go nor did Romney or his sons. But they are all for the war on terror. That's like having a war on bombs or a war on murder.

Paul is the only one that has a prayer against Obama. People voted for Obama because they wanted a change but got more of the same and will be the change Obama promised but didn't deliver. Paul has been the same and does not change.

People will vote for him instead of "holding their nose", and voteing for the lesssor of two evils.
Then we will have change instead of the same thing from the same people.

Signing up to drive a engineer vehicle in a combat zone that may be mined, in the line of fire, in the most predictable way for a few hours: I think a SS is pretty appropriate.

Audie was a special guy, and suffered from nightmares the rest of his life.

After the war Audie was in a bar (drinking coca-cola) and a motorcycle gang came in, and told him to clear out. He got up, pinned the biggest guy in the gang on his chin, knocking him out. He turned his back and went back to the bar to finish his drink.

Of course in “The Red Badge of Courage” Hollywood cast him as the young man who ran away.
