Another way to belittle America’s servicemen and women; Downgrade the honors so they mean even less.
So your position is that American Soldiers who are on duty and are killed by a terrorist traitor who has chosen to fight for our enemy should not be honored with a Purple Heart?
That giving these soldiers a purple heart demeans the honor?
I guess by your standard the servicemen who died at Pearl Harbor on 12/7 should not have gotten Purple Hearts because we were not at war with Japan at the time of the attack.
