Don't flatter yourself. You are of no account and you uninformed opinion doesn't matter. This discussion is about preserving the honor surrounding the actions of heroes, as is my response. I will call out anyone who so blatantly critics any MoH recipient, especially those who weren't there. Small individuals who choose to criticize the man in the arena and his rewards all deserve the same treatment: exposure of their cowardice and dismissal. I've worked too closely with real heroes to see their heroism belittled by insignificant men.

Who hit a nerve? 😘

Sounds like I hit a nerve. Noted.

🤣

Honey, put your dick away. If you're too emotionally invested in this to read simple commentary, then you're probably not worth talking to at all. But for the fun of it: the simple reality is that there are a metric fuck ton of incredible people who have done incredible things after being shot, and all but a very small few of them went home or into the ground without a medal of Honor. Now maybe you've never read any medal of Honor citations, but I have. The bar isn't just high, it's in fucking low earth orbit. Maybe this guy deserves it. But for better or worse we have a president who believes any and every institution, convention, tradition, and norm should be upended for his own vanity and glamor. And if that means he can get a medal of Honor attached to his Venezuela mission, he's going to do it by any means necessary. That attaches a very real and very unfortunate skepticism to this particular citation. You can sit at home with your thumb up your ass and not think about it, but I choose to. And since you're on a message board where a bunch of people talk about shit like this, I will take your "aggressive STFU" and file it with some of the other asinine things you said here over the years. XOXO

Sorry, just seeing this. I was told by several units that the only way they would entertain a possible interview is if I enlisted. Update: Interviewed with my home unit in December, and they said no. On to the next ones. I am working extra days before and after every drill to try and improve my chances for next time.

Gen Douglas MacArthur got a MOH just by escaping Corregidor so not having himself be taken prisoner like his whole command by the Japanese. I'm sure FDR did it just to get some good out of a disaster.

True There was damage but not as bad as implied

I've never been shot but I've flown a few helicopters and I think it's a tremendous accomplishment to fly a bus into a hot LZ with a few bullet holes in your body. Good job Slover.

First articles released said "penetration"(s), no joke, but partially factual and obfuscation

Amoedi has been sounding the alarm on AI for sometime. In January he published The Adolescence of Technology in which he sounds the alarm and makes some very good points. He is worth $7B and I think he would have no qualms giving the money back, the problem is Hegseth is threatening to put Anthropic on the "supply chain risk" list which means any company doing business with Anthropic in any way, shape or form, can't do business with the government. It is one thing to say we are going to cancel your contract, quite another to try to destroy a company because they don't agree with you. Like I said, there is a moral argument here and both sides have a point until one side decides to completely destroy a business if they don't get there way.

I’m more concerned that you might not be ok than a silly online discussion. Seriously bud—feel free to DM me, definitely not trying to play any games.

Did I not answer your question?

Dude, are you ok?

Why do you ask my opinion on almost every single post I make trying to bait me into what you’re assuming my stance will be? I agree with Lord Ratner’s take on it. I think a DFC with valor and a Purple Heart, but I don’t think it crosses over into MoH territory. To me it takes a type of gallantry such as saving life/lives of fellow service members while being attacked or superior heroism (e.g. John Leviton). I do respect the fact it’s hard, if not impossible, to directly compare the combat events and actions of the recipients to each other. But in the end I’m not the POTUS, so it doesn’t really matter what I think.

Fair enough. So what’s your opinion on the event/him receiving the MoH?

I feel comfortable aggressively telling you to STFU. Especially about a -47 pilot being shot 4 times and still successfully operating a helicopter the size of a bus in combat. I'm doubting you've ever been shot at, much less shot at while actually in range, much less while piloting a helicopter, which I've heard equated to as balancing on a swissball while playing a guitar. Dear keyboard warrior: Stop talking Beyond that, it's the CONGRESSIONAL Medal of Honor. Every single one has politics behind it. The president puts it on, but a LOT of other people approve it first. No doubt political shenanigans were at play...but also no doubt this dude did something to deserve it.

Verbiage of contract is probably the issue at hand. I highly doubt the US govt would screw up the contract verbiage....

What I meant is called guided discussion, which is what I received since multiple people have commented with multiple opinions on the topic.

So what then did you mean by your original comment? I don’t think you were asking for clarification on the location/operation as your internet search skills are probably just as good as the rest of us.

I get your point, but Anthropic signed a $200 million DoD contract last summer. Did Amodei just suddenly grow a conscience? If so, then hand the $200M check back!
