Okay y'all. It's getting really frickin deep with this president and everything he touches. Rush Limbaugh is calling it the "Yellow Heart" (what's that? Jaundice or cowardice?) Either way...um, the purpose of war is to kill people and break things. But it's being floated around, courageous restraint under fire. Those will have to be awarded posthumously I guess. Will you get a purple heart if you get a yellow heart if killed in the line of fire?
Besides, enlisted men already get a medal like that for restraint - it's called the GOOD CONDUCT MEDAL for not screwing up, keeping your act together and not pummeling the snot out of someone who deserves it and going to court martial (I got one).
Honestly? Really? For real? I wonder if Michelle Obama will sponsor one that is the "I hate my country but serve in the military because I was too poor to get a college education and was exploited because of my economic heritage medal of bravery."
Anyways, Rush does a better commentary than I do: Here's his link.
And here's the Navy Times article on it.
