I think we need to create a whole new set of medals & awards

[Jackpine Radical]

that we can give to the Chickenhawks. First, they need a unit patch: the "Screaming Chickenhawk," modelled on the 101st Airborne's famed Puking Buzzard patch. And the Purple Foot award, given for injuries sustained while running from the draft. And the Distinguished Fleeing Cross...

Other ideas for awards are welcome.

1. I saw two "Medals of Dishonor" yesterday at Phoenix Art Museum

It was part of the exhibit "Surrealism USA".

The medals were by sculptor David Smith IIRC.

Anyway, one was "For bombing civilian populations" and the other was something about the press.

I guess neither are strictly applicable to chickenhawks. But I just had to post, because those artworks were still so fresh in my mind.


on edit: here is the info on the artworks:

DAVID SMITH (1906-1965)

Medal for Dishonor: The Fourth Estate of the Free Press (1939)

Medal for Dishonor: Bombing Civilian Populations (1939)

6. Maybe for ordering the deaths or torture of civilians

while in a civilian role.

2. Excellent Idea with a real awards ceremony to go with

Purple Foot Award. I love it. Tom Delay, Dick Cheney, Rush Limbaugh,the list goes on and on.

3. Rather than the "Purple Foot", how about the "Purple Heel"

It's so much more appropriate for the bastards.

5. Purple Heel works for me.

4. For the worst (best) use of freeper "logic"...

The Regressional Medal of Honner.
