Odradek posted:I participated in an awesome seminar today - this Canadian guy had been radicalized in his late teens and went over to Syria to support ISIS. He was a supporter, not a combatant. is this like how every german soldier was just a truck driver after ww2? how many kafir heads did he support off their necks?

CommieGIR posted:'Eventually Make Mexico' Its fully implied what comes after that. maybe to you, but you dont actually know what it says, so either of us could be right. or it could be something entirely different

Gobbeldygook posted:A lot of the citations before Vietnam are of a repetitive, ordinary sort of heroism: diving on mines and grenades. At some point they stopped awarding the MOH for diving on grenades, presumably because they would rather you always try to save yourself. They even awarded the MOH for...uh... what the gently caress? diving on a mine or grenade isnt ordinary heroism, and there have been several moh awards during the gwot for doing so. its how kyle carpenter earned his, and fortunately hes still alive. its also how jason dunham, michael a monsoor, and ross a mcginnis got theirs, but unfortunately they didnt live through the experience you sound like a total cock by mocking people who willingly sacrificed themselves to save their buddies

Gobbeldygook posted:I stand corrected on the MOH for grenade dives; I noticed when browsing that they dropped off dramatically after WW2 and figured it reflected a policy change. Gobbeldygook posted:Become a US Senator. ive bolded the part of your post that could easily be misconstrued as mocking someone who acted completely against his own instinct of self preservation and thus deserves to be recognized for his sacrifice. it kind of throws your whole point into question

Gobbeldygook posted:Except for that guy. He got the MOH for dropping a grenade and then diving on it. Award him something for doing the right thing but I'd prefer we reserve the highest honor for people who aren't just fixing their own incredible gently caress-up. If I playfully shoved you, but you unexpectedly fell over onto the road, but I pulled you back just before a car ran you over, would you thank me for saving your life? You'd be happy I saved you but I was still the whole reason you almost died. except you dont know the circumstances that caused the grenade to slip from his hand. the people who were there did, and based on their accounts he was deemed a worthy recipient

McNally posted:I've sometimes wondered how many Medal of Honor nominations were downgraded because the nominating authority couldn't write for poo poo. My dad knew a Marine who was put up for it twice during Vietnam and says he probably would have gotten one of them had his commanders been able to write better. I can't remember the order of events, but one of them was for leaping out of a helicopter as his unit was being evacuated under heavy fire, distracting the enemy enough that the fire on the helicopters noticeably lessened and they were able to swoop back down to pick him up.* The second was when his unit was withdrawing from a rice paddy under heavy fire and he charged towards the enemy, firing his M16, and threw Charlie off balance enough that they were able to counterattack without getting their asses kicked.** this guy loving owns
