I'm not aware of any Navy SEALS who have cracked under the strain. Do you have some more information on that?And some of them crack under the strain -- there's no shame in that.

I guess degrading the honor of every Purple Heart recipient from the Vietman era is OK as long as it's makes a Democrat look bad.Purple Hearts in Vietnam were a dime a dozen, given out too freely in my view. Kerry is the perfect example.

What would you expect the website to say? Kerry proves my point by getting Purple Hearts for extremely questionable wounds, noting that at least during the Vietnam era a soldier could put himself in for the Purple Heart, as Kerry seems to have done.From the Purple Heart website.
"The United States Purple Heart is one of the most prestigious awards given to military men and women who suffer from injuries while engaging an enemy."
Very questionable injuries. Real heroes, like Oliver North, rejected the third Purple Heart to avoid transfer.Each time Kerry was given a Purple Heart, it was due to an injury when engaged in combat with enemies, which is the exact criteria.
John Kerry's are the perfect example.How was the Purple Heart given out too freely?

"I see Marines, SEALs, Green Berets the toughest men on earth and they still have PTSD," McLay said.

Unfit For Command
You don't know what you are talking about.
I find that personally insulting. Liberals have traditionally served their country with distinction.
It was bunk. The people who actually served with Kerry, on his boat thought the world of him. The others didn't like Kerry's anti war stance when he got out so they made up a bunch of unsupported lies to try to discredit him.
Bottom line is Kerry was put in harms way, and served under fire. We never used to criticize our vets for doing that. Not until the neo-cons came along.
May I remind you of the SWIFTBOAT ad which the Right took out against Kerry in 2004?
That was an appalling case where people on the right actively denigrated a PURPLE HEART RECIPIENT!
Your point now stands as hypocritical.

Interesting, however I think I will skip reading this book. Books like these are only intended to be read as part of the campaign year in which they are published. I think I will also skip this discussion unless by chance Kerry is running again for president.
There isn't anything there suggesting that any SEAL "cracked.I have no doubt that there are plenty of things in the world that you're not aware of --

That one doesn't even mention SEALS. Got anything else?
Scratches for which he didn't even miss any duty? Do you think getting a band-aid is worthy of the supposedly prestigious Purple Heart.?Why were his wounds questionable?
Your choice, however it would seem odd to comment on claims made in a book when you haven't read it.It'll definitely go on my fiction list.

On a side note, most people who hate Rush Limbaugh have never listened to his show.

Traditionally many American liberals believe that American military power is used only in colonialist endeavors, preying upon the poor masses in third world countries in order to make people like Dick Cheney rich. We are bullies, and thus the militant Islamist are justified in hating us. Because if we were not so powerful, they wouldn't hate us. Therefore we shouldn't be so powerful. That is one reason why each and every time federal spending cuts are discussed, the first area many liberals will scream about slashing is Defense.
My guess is that you have never been to college. I never had one professor pontificate on the immorality of the American military nor have ever had a profressor speak that far off topic in.Liberal professors will pontificate on the immorality of American military policy in math classes.
Mach stated Purple Hearts were a dime a dozen is Vietnam. That degrades the meaning of the award and therefore the honor of all who have recieved it.I did not see where anyone degraded the honor of every purple heart recipient from the Vietnam era.
When you get a Purple Heart for a scratch that requires only a band-aid, it cheapens the medal.The award isn't based on the severity off the wound. Only that it was sustained during combat. What's the problem here?
