Too slow .... I read your reply.

Tracy, I was not insulting the soldier who is receiving the Medal of Honor in any way. It may have been expressed poorly enough to give that impression. My post was not about him but about the military PR machine. Yes, he was a hero. Was he more of a hero than others, though? Why him, why now? Announcing it just before 9/11 seems awfully convenient, doesn't it? You don't have to answer these questions, just ponder them.
