What you said:
He's being
criticized for perhaps being a bit economical with the truth in getting some
of them and then using them to get out of the combat zone.
Now, I take the term: economical with the truth, as meaning he at best with
held the truth, or was an out and out liar at worst. Either case calls into
question how medals were awarded inViet Nam, and I have never known a medal
to be awarded on the word of the recipiant alone. Go here.

If you do, you question each and every medal given under said process. So
you also call into question the names and sacrifices of those names on
the
wall and in all past wars and conflicts. You have questioned , by proxy,
such awards as Sgt, Yorks medal of honor, Gary Brenemens Purple heart,
and
so on. Not a very patriotic thing to do in my book.

I don't think that's what I said but feel free to try to demonstrate
otherwise.
