All 24 are Army; no Air Force or Navy / Marine. One black, one Jew, five whites, 17 Latins. This is 2014 GOTV event for the ‘RATS Mexican base.

I guess since only 3 of the 24 are alive, we have to take BO’s word for it that they were victims......

Every one of these MOH receipients had already been been awarded the Distinguished Service Cross for there actions on the battlefield. No discrimination whatsover in them not being being awarded a MOH. Where are the white soldiers that were awarded the distinquished service cross instead of the Medal of Honor? I had a good friend who was a pararescueman in Vietnam. Awarded the Air Force Cross for saving a downed pilot, those familiar with operation always said he deserved the MOH. Well I guess if my buddy was alive today the Dear Leader would have upgraded his Air Force Cross to the MOH. On second thought, not a chance, he was the white, the wrong color.

So its your contention that these 24 men didn’t earn the MOH? Did you read the citations? What have YOU done thats even remotely close to what they did?

No, you are questioning the solidiers. “Looks like maybe pResident Obama is going to make sure every minority that ever served has one.” You’re saying these men are getting the award because they are minorities.
