Maggie's Farm

We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

Presidential Medal Of Freedom for Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty

My friend at the Mellow Jihadi is the first I've seen to suggest that the former Navy SEALs who went against orders and so bravely risked and lost all, taking down so many of the enemy, deserve to receive the Presidential Medal Of Freedom (being out of military service, the Congressional Medal Of Honor doesn't apply). Surely, as well,  they should receive stars in the CIA's lobby.


My only question is whether it will be President Obama who makes the award, the hypocrisy of he doing so wouldn't faze him, or President Romney, who will in the citation reveal much that is now hidden by the Obama administration and its media lackeys.

Kudos for keeping the flags flying at Maggie's, Bruce.

From the posts, it looks like you're it.

Ah, the price and pleasures of living in paradise, where it is 75-degrees and sunny with a mild ocean breeze.

Wow! Deja Vu!

I was just looking up the same thing this past weekend. I too discovered the Presidential Medal of Freedom and the Congressional Gold Medal.

My preferred solution would be to find some paperwork loophole to put both SEALs on military duty that day and award the Medal of Honor to both.

Regardless, its time for Americas patriots to move this to the forefront and build popular public support.

I believe they (and their families/survivors) would feel some degree of satisfaction from a WH ceremony where President Romney presented such an award. Perhaps even vindication for the calumny and cowardice that killed their kinsmen.

Related: I have a friend/subordinate who reaches his statutory retirement length of service on January 2, 2013. He is trying mightily to extend his active service at least another month (he has leukemia--probably from exposure to benzene in the Gulf war or Iraq or Afghanistan). This, to avoid having a retirement certificate signed by the current president.

I wholeheartedly agree these two heroes deserve something on the order of the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
