Passing students in government school has no bearing on the issue of Pvt Lynch receiving medals for her service in our military. Shoshana Johnson received the silver star (or was it bronze?). Do you have issues with that as well? The male soldiers received medals as well. Do you have issues with that? Or is it just women you have issues regarding the giving of medals?

We have NO idea exactly what transpired when Lynch was held as a POW. We DO know her injuries are severe and that most likely she was tortured in a horrendous way. We've have to wait and learn more, won't we? So perhaps your tune will change when the whole story comes out some day, hmmmm?

Sure it does. In general, I don't beleive that standards should be eroded over time. Happens in schools, happens in the military.

Please see my above post about reading the whole thread before hyperventilating.

Perhaps, but I think that if we imposed a rule on FR that no commenting or speculating on issues until all facts were known would cut down on about 90% of the posts.
