John H On the 'Poco Loco' out of Deale, MD on the beautiful Chesapeake Bay! I did no more to earn my trophy than Bush did to earn his. Where were you while your troops were obtaining the bayonet?

His prize should've been presented to someone more closely connected with our presence in Iraq, like David J. Lesar. |

Sounds to me like just another example of "Bring em on" I don't imagine John H called in the press to show off his trophy, and if he's like most vets, probably keeps it in a closet someplace out of sight. He might show it if asked by his grandkids or something. There are just some things left unsaid. |

To complete your last sentence: "....by adults with some sense of taste and propriety, and reverence for the way such a trophy was gotten". That excludes..well..you know who. |
