**I got to meet several medal of honor recipients. A sobering experience,
particularly when I read about them later. And all the ones I met were much
like this guy, very humble.
I suspect the article writer has not seen actual himself and not exhibiting such traits.
The lone response to the article was this (excluding the 30 likes for Facebook):
It is because of the lack of “duty” in the hearts of Americans … “duty” being the desire, in fact the need, to serve one’s country. People in general have begun to think that they are “just as good” as those who have served, and because they haven’t served, have no concept as to the sacrifices made by those who have.
And the FANTASY that the world is a nice place, that we don’t NEED to HAVE a military at all, that if we just open ourselves the world will be a friendly place … is BS.
But people actually believe it.
