Is he still "highly decorated" if he threw his awards away?


In a word, "yes". The only way anyone can say "no" is if they can produce a
bona fide special or general order that rescinds or revokes the original award.

Actually, Art, you shouldn't be using Purple Hearts as a measure of
valor. They demonstrate either bad luck, or if garnered in groups, a
level of combat incompetence.

I've got an SSM and five DFC's, but no PH. I'd rather win than lose.
I'd rather America prevail than the Islamic fundamentalists. I'd
rather retain national sovereignty than subject us to the whims of the
UN. I'd rather carry my own weapon and defend myself. I'd rather
individual responsibility than a welfare state. I'd rather keep my
earnings and make my own spending choices. I'd like higher standards
rather than affirmative action.

Any questions?

Yeah will you buy Art's Viagra, it's just not fair that he has to pay for it
himself.

Imagine how the war would be different if the liberals were giving aid and
comfort to America.

Me too.

I'd rather have truth and justice prevail than religious
fundamentalism regardless of the variety of religion or the
nationality of the fanatic.

I'd
rather retain national sovereignty than subject us to the whims of the
UN.


I'd rather our elected officials and their apointees respect the
Constitution, their obligations under the treaties ratified by
our Senate, and obey the law. Happily, six of our Supreme Court
Justices agree with me.

I'd rather carry my own weapon and defend myself.


Me too.

individual responsibility than a welfare state.


Me too, Ditto for welfare for the rich.

I'd rather keep my
earnings and make my own spending choices.


Me too.

rather than affirmative action.


I'd like them both. They are not incompatible.

Do you have more than three Purple Hearts and a Silver Star?

Another gratuitous ad hominem, clearly content free, "Nyaaa-Nyaaa" post
brought to you by the Left.

Thanks Mike- you make me proud to be a thinking person.

Now, now, don't rub it in. Chickenhawks have feelings too!
