That's correct. :)




Completely irrelevent.  Are you a farmer? No?  Then you can't comment on price supports.  Are you a petroleum engineer?  No?  Can't comment on the price of gas. Surrrrrre. ;)




No. Have you ever ridden an italian bicycle?  :p




You're crapola is the old, totally IRRELEVENT "were you there argument" - come up with something better,  a LOT better, or YOU STFU.




The point blew past you like an M-16 bullet.  The issue wasn't whether he was doing what he was supposed to (does THAT deserve a medal???) or whether "Mike Teams" rescued people (who had screwed up), the issue is whether he deserved a silver star.  The official citation is very sketchy and raises legitimate questions about whether the award was justified.  Do you think EVERY medal ever awarded was justified??  




You think he earned it without sufficient evidence - seems like you've found a new religion.  The salient facts:  he got shot and told his troops to shoot back.  What else would anyone do?  What else could they do except surrender?  The enemy appears, you tell your troops to  shoot at them - heroic?  Nope.  Unless further eye-witness info adds additional convincing facts, it appears on the face of it that he got an undeserved medal.
