Medal of Honor announced for soldier who fought through three floors of insurgen

Also, football players are real heroes.

A well deserved and overdue honor for a true American Hero.

I have met many TRUE heroes in my career. They are senior citizens living in the nursing homes that I Consult for. They may appear to drool and eat fruit cups, but at the age of 20, they were truly badasses who kept the free world FREE.

Nidan: are you saying Flag is a hero? I mean he’s a TUSCL hero of course, . . .

Wow.

@dr evil. Quite possibly. Quite possibly.

flagooner saving the world one fruitcup at a time 😂

^ Nothing says coward as loud as a fool who has no appreciation for the freedom to post such absurdity

Is there a reason why so many people around here can't give credit to someone without tearing others down? Obviously there isn't a comparison in 2019 between a public sporting event, even at the highest levels of skills, and a life and death military clearing operation. It's two completely different scales of value.

^ Too bad for you boy, you have no idea what the military does for you. You should shut up here, it would be smarter on your part.

^ Why don’t you move there and find out. Report to us exactly how much better your life is in Iraq

^ I’d like to know how many of those insurgents were actually Iraqis , still we salute our soldiers, you son provide aid and comfort to our enemies.

This is a total circular position that you have, first of all we haven’t taken their natural resources, second the reasoning behind the invasion was flawed, it was fueled by the Iraqi is them selves, if they had come clean about their nuclear program it wouldn’t have come to a war, but keeping in mind they originally invaded Kuwait and forced our hand previously, so their intentions were far from clear. You need to separate the American military from your political agenda, our soldiers do what is expected of them, criminal acts by our soldiers are few and far between, and considered an anomaly unlike our foes, that commit war crimes as a tactic of war, we do not. Do you think you can shut the fuck up now and stop your trolling on this topic, it’s pure idiocy on your part, grow up boy, or get the fuck out of my face.

Icey: You clearly have no idea what you are talking about. Iraq broke the terms of the First Gulf War cease fire by ejecting the international weapons inspectors. There were reasonable grounds to believe Iraq was rebuilding its WMD program (why kick out the inspectors otherwise?). The fact that no new WMDs were found is irrelevant. You break the terms of a ceasefire, you should expect the shooting to start again.

Wafare is not “indiscrimate slaughter” and it’s not murder. And all militaries, including those of our adversaries, reward valor in combat, so yes, if the U.S. were invaded I would expect the invading force would award medals to some of its soldiers. What does that have to do with anything?

Many of the fighters in Iraq, particularly in Anbar Province where Fallujah is located, were foreigners, not Iraqis. There is no telling how many, if any, of the fighters in the OP story were Iraqis “defending their homes” versus foreign Al Qaeda imports.

Obama "Don't cross this line or I'll draw another that I won't do anything about."

Some of My Martial Arts students fought in that fucking war as did my Brother. . They have a totally different perspective than our beloved TROLL. The people that my students/ friends /brother came in contact with were extremely HAPPY that they were they to break the insurgents’ backs! The Iraqi regime, according to those who saw it first hand, were very oppressive, dictatorial, murdering, raping ASSHOLES. I FULLY SUPPORT those US soldiers who had to deal with their BULLSHIT.

@doctorevil you might try talking to a wall and remind the wall that those adversaries in fallujah were committing atrocities and war crimes every day until we broke the insurgency, using civilians as shields, bombing marketplaces, using hospitals and schools as staging areas to attack from, he's either, just so full of himself he has no idea, or he's just trolling trying to get a rise out of folks, by being a knucklehead.

One of my students who came back from that was all fucked up because the pussy insurgent used a 5 year old girl as as human shield as the PUSSY fired his AK 47 at his troop. He had no choice, but to blast him and his shield lest his platoon be shot to pieces. I attended his fucking funeral (suicide).

Frenulum

25: All of the things you said are true, but they don’t begin to capture the depravity of the insurgents we were fighting. Suspected informants, or real informants identified because the traitor Bradley Manning leaked classified information, were tortured to death by being dismembered while alive, shocked with electricity, fingers smashed with hammers, drilled in the body or head with power drills, stabbed with screwdrivers, all of the above, or whatever else they could dream up. And retards like Icey think we were the bad guys.

^ It makes you the idiot you didn’t even read our posts, you just responded out of your ass, as per usual. I’m done with you so again the last word is yours, go and surprise us by saying something intelligent for a change.
