Who Deserves a Medal?

So last week we heard about an Air Force Chaplain who got a Bronze Star for writing a power point presentation regarding how to avoid being irritating to our Afghani pals who like to kill us while we are working together.

The week before we heard about the new medal for drone pilots, proposed to rank above the Purple Heart and Bronze Star. This will be awarded to people never in harm's way.

On the 16th, I read about the proposal for Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty, the two Navy Seals killed saving thirty people in Benghazi six months ago, to be awarded the Congressional Gold Medal. This is one of the highest Congressional awards granted.

What do you want to bet that the medal proposal quietly dies? What have we heard from the administration on Benghazi, really? Besides lies? Where are the survivors? What have they been doing? Why haven't we seen them, heard from them? I asked that question months ago, it remains unanswered. So do pretty nearly all the questions about Benghazi. Now, we learn that one of the main perpetrators of the lies told by the administration, Susan Rice, is likely to be rewarded with a position as national security advisor (having been denied Sec of State, thank goodness).

What exactly are they hiding? Will we ever find out?

  1. The survivors may not want to talk. Very likely what they were doing in Benghazi in the first place was gun-running to Syrian Islamists. By talking, they would likely be admitting criminal activity.

  2. If they're forced to watch reruns of The Rosie O'Donnell Show and The View they'll talk.
