Any honorable veteran or service member should consider this a direct slap in the face to their service.

This is reprehensible, even in jest.

Thanks magat scum

The Medal of Honor is the United States' highest award for military valor in action. And while over 150 years have passed since its inception, the meaning behind the Medal has never tarnished. Etched within are the very values that each Recipient displayed in the moments that mattered"bravery, courage, sacrifice, integrity. A deep love of country and a desire to always do what is right.

Piggy landed in a plane in Iraq.

Piggy is disgusting in countless ways.

But this is a singular vile act.

This belittles the sacrifices, sacrifices often ending in death, of those who chose to defend their country.

Any normal human being would respond with reverence and humility.

But, no, not our President.

Just another spit in the face of our country.

This man cannot die soon enough and rid the world of his stink.

Do civilians qualify for the MOH? Assuming they actually did something worthy enough for the recognition?

#7. I've always understood it to be a combat award.

I've always understood it to be a combat award.

At minimum, it's a military award. POTUS is a civilian.

Agreed. Any notion that Trump should be a recipient is beyond stupid.

He can give himself the Presidential Medal of Freedom. He did say it was better anyway.

Thomas Gunnery Sargent Highway:

" Charging Machine Gun Nests: He charged two machine gun nests by himself.
Endurance: He reportedly did not sleep for three days during the battle.
Last Stand: He held off a final human wave attack almost singlehandedly.
Sole Survivor: He was one of the only members of his unit still alive when the battle concluded."

The Medal of Honor is a military award for military service. MAGAJesus, even in his Cadet Bone Spurs guise, does not qualify.

But he will, if previous obnoxious behavior is any indicator of present/future performance (and make no mistake: it most definitely is), this goon will coat himself in gold. He's dumb, in steep mental decline, and undergoing narcissistic meltdown. And you can be sure he never heard of Roman real estate mogul Crassus who also thought he knew better than everyone else, tangled with the Parthians and found out that, in fact ... he didn't.

The US Medal of Honor is not one singular medal, like the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

There is a unique version of the MoH designed for each of the uniformed services: 1) US Army; 2) USAF (incl. US Space Force); and 3) USN (incl. USMC and USCG).

Which of the three versions would Dummkopf Trumpf award himself?

A trifecta.

Good one, Doc Sarvis.

BTW: I'm enjoying Elmer Gantry (Sinclair Lewis, 1927).

The pre-Great Depression ethos in America's Midwest is something to behold and explains the power and influence of soul-mongers like William Jennings Bryan.

The rural-urban divide is also subtly laid out. "Go into town and meet the sinners and head for the farms to meet the saints."
