[Sir Napsalot]

Nothing but the highest admiration for these brave Americans, and one Briton who also helped.

C’mon! But “a machine gun”? That’s ridiculous!

[gunnut]

I am the first one to criticize this administration but there was a report that the President did call and speak to these American heroes.

It still frost me that the European gentleman who took out the panty bomber, was not feted by Napolitano (”the system has worked”, or BO.

Good point!

Am I paranoid to think there's a reason the government only wants us to worship them?

[bruoz]

Pat Tillman is a hero. Yes, he was killed by friendly fire, but he died serving his country.

[bruoz]

A selective fire AK47 is a machinegun.

[Forgotten Amendments]

Pat Tillman is a hero. Yes, he was killed by friendly fire, but he died serving his country

What I meant was, they made up a big lie about him dying fighting the enemy and gave him a Silver Star for something they knew was a lie. Pure PR BS. Whoever signed off on that spat on every Silver Star winner and should've been in big trouble.

I really respect Jessica Lynch. She could've made a good living pretending what they said about her capture was true. But, she came out and told the truth. That's a real soldier!

Thank you brothers

[elcid1970]

Their heroism is an excellent example of:

“LaFayette, we are here!”

(look it up)

[Redbob]

Interesting how this was “authoritatively” reported here last Friday as having been “3 U.S. Marines...”

[Sir Napsalot]

OK, I stand corrected.

[Kartographer]

I hope I never have to face a ‘Mooselimb’ with an AK47 in a cramp railcar full of innocent people no matter what it setting!

[seeker7_dj]

Anthony Sadler appears to be African American.

Yup.. and they were childhood friends too! I wonder if the “racist Nazi’s” will voice their praise... or the Black Lives matter crowd gives acknowledgement?

[lostboy61]

Yes, Both U.S. Army personnel and U.S. Marines can wear these ribbons on dress uniform. Sgt. York also won this award and had it on his dress uniform.

[ladyjane]

Why didn’t Moogalian get an award also? He was the first one to tackle the gunman.

[ladyjane]

She is probably better off not being identified.

You know the jihadists might just have these guys on a hit list.

[kvanbrunt2]

The US ambassador was present. thot she was the tall guys mom at first.

[kvanbrunt2]

i think it was a report by lefigaro

[lulu16]

I have no idea. The facts dribble out all weekend. Even some of the timelines omit important parts.

[SoCal Pubbie]

I meant in addition to ribbons from the U.S. And dress uniform may have been an inaccurate term. I meant anything fancier than fatigues.

[LydiaLong]

Now can we please stop calling Bruce Jenner ‘heroic’?
