I hate that it is Cmdr Bone Spurs doing the presentation, but the deceased is among the honored dead, a real hero.

What honor does a man without honor or integrity bring to the memory of a hero? What will be remembered is that a liar and a coward spoke words without any real appreciation for the sacrifice of the man being honored!!!

He never has his suit coat buttoned and the back flaps stick out.

I alter men's suits as well. Get a larger coat and have it altered so the coat can be buttoned. It looks better.

bloviating in front of an audience. He kept going off script, and when he looked off to the side, presumably at the family, and said "Good genes. Good genes." I wanted to punch the screen.

But as Ali Velshi said on MSNBC, "As much as people don't like it, I will always cover the Medal of Honor".

They helped Elect this Mobster and there is a Investment they need a return on. If the Dems take over the House,these people will have to answer to oversight. Nuf Said.

...awarding the Congressional Medal of Honor to a most deserving recipient simply because Chump is the presenter?

The coverage isn't about Chump, it's about Technical Sergeant Chapman.

Perhaps you should read Chappie's citation before you get all aggrieved.

Did they explain how hard the USAF had to fight to get him the MOH? How his Navy SEAL buddies after filling out their reports of what happened, then refused to sign those reports!!

The SEALS did everything they could do to block this from happening, because they didn't want to appear to have left a man behind!!!

Perhaps you need to read the back story on how this all came about!!!

...surrounding NSW and the awarding of Slab's MOH a few months back, and I'm also more than a little familiar with the Pred footage of the Takur Gur engagement but thanks, sport.

What the fuck does any of that have to do with me addressing someone who ISN'T you, on here bitching and moaning about CNN and MSNBC covering Chappie's ceremony just because Chump was the presenter?

of them standing next to this POS holding the framed medal. His smirking face is so disingenuous.
