@rvernon:What better topic to discuss? To quote A. Lincoln: “It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us—that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion—that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain—that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom—and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.”
America is not “always at war”. Read your history books, and read Mr. Lincoln’s last line again.

Are all Marines that gave their lives last month for you. There is no media for them; not even a mention of their names.
This actually happened to my son when he was in high school. He was suspended for 3 days, forced to take an in-school suspension and get 3 days worth of “sensitivity” training. He graduated high school without the capability of composing a complete sentence, can’t do basic arithmetic. His sister (whose IQ is 2 points LOWER than his) is now completing her Masters degree with a 4.0 GPA. It is our generation who did this to our kids. “Peace, love and understanding” is fine as an ideal, but reality is that the world is a hard, tough place, and the sooner the kids learn it the better.
Joe Biden got one. Now it’s a “Participation” Medal. Just one more thing Barry Soetoro made meaningless.
