You are all from immigrants its us and them its we

Rules of engagement the reason they were killed . As soon as he noticed him walking backwards , give one command, shoot ask questions later.

Why don't you just get down on your hands and knees for him can you tell me what exactly what he did to deserve the Medal of Honor? I think a lot of people just say s*** on here they have no idea what they're talking about did you even listen to that story? There was one of these stories that where a guy for a whole unit of Japanese by himself and blew up several bunkers and he kept running up and down the hill saving people that were wounded

You're not the first foreign born recipient

Thank you

@@Comedybrand He was tasked to protect two people and when he noticed something suspicious, he ran and attacked the man. When he confirmed the guy had a suicide vest, he did his duty and did not run. You probably don't even know how to fight. lul.

@@Ek0 = He's jealous, clueless or both.

Because he wasn't born in the US he was born in France. I believe his step dad (american) took him and his mom to the US when he was around 11 and became american at 18

HE IS MORE AMERICAN THEN SOME WHO ARE BORN IN AMERICA. GOD BLESS HIM AND MUCH RESPECT TO THIS BRAVE SOLDIER.

Because of the nature of our republic.

You don’t want any president with no checks and balances. We have had combat veteran presidents, namely- our first president. The third one served in the Revolutionary War at 12yrs old and was a British POW...he was also a raving genocidal maniac. His name was Andrew Jackson and he exterminated natives of this country. Our last president to see direct combat with an armed enemy was George H. W. Bush. I’m sure there exists combat veterans out there who could act w/o checks and balances and still do only the exact right thing that represents the majority wishes, but you don’t want to take that risk.

Sad about losing COMRADES.

@@codybaker502 nice, that was just down the road in the Kunar valley.

It is unfortunate that this country has been hijacked by lunatics.

He has had at least 33 surgeries on his left leg and it has been saved, but he does not have complete use of it. I read that he can't really run now, but that he does a lot of Crossfit and remains a very fit guy. The blast damaged more than half of the nerves in the calf muscle on his left leg.

Coming apart? Nonsense. Who's turning you against your neighbor and why?

Damn right Mr. Cook!

​ JT F Jesus really? We are questioning the valor of a man who charged headlong at a suicide bomber and lost his leg? His boys died but they protected the people they were suppose to protect. am sorry but bringing up politics in this context is a scumbag move and disrespectful as hell to veterans.

I'm sure the witnesses, investigators and approval authorities might disagree.

@@hgbugalou He said he didn't know he had a suicide bomb and when he did realize it he threw him away and got 4 friends killed instead of laying on top of him and risking death to save them, which has been the previous standard for the Medal of Honor. Maybe if the left wasn't shitting all over our most prestigious awards by lowering the standard to hand them out in favor of identity politics then we wouldn't have to question it.

Lot of keyboard warriors here.

They aren't disrespecting any veterans. In fact, they aren't disrespecting anything at all. Why are people so offended these days?

@@yashjoseph3544 actually they are disrespecting the nation..they can protest off the clock off the TV. I don't even like football and those clown torque me. I am old enough to remember the scum disrespecting Vietnam vets coming home and spitting on them. I remember when the Vietnam War memorial was built that the same scum called it the black gash. A mark on the US. My uncle went away to fight for this country, his countrymen treated him with contempt and shame. These jocks are entertainers. The opinion of entertainers is worth dirt. They get paid to do a job. If I protested at my job, no more job.

​@@OKBushcraft How are they being disrespectful? They are just kneeling. Nothing else. It's not like they're being disruptive or hurting anyone. Oh, I know what they are hurting. OTHER PEOPLE'S FEELINGS. If you get so triggered over this act, chances are maybe it's YOU that's the problem. Someone who can't understand that we have freedoms. "They can protest off the clock". The classic rebuttal. Protests need to get attention to work. I'm pretty sure they succeeded. And don't even try conflating this up to Vietnam. They are not comparable. I don't care about what the people who call the memorial a "black gash" said because I know it's their opinions, and they're allowed to say them. I don't see football players spitting on veterans at games. Don't try to use your uncle's story to push your own nationalist rhetoric. You are disrespecting his name. Jobs are different. If you protested at your job and then got fired, then too bad. If the NFL allows it, then I don't care since they have the right to do that. These athletes will be more patriotic then you ever will be because they stood up for something instead of blindly following nationalist propaganda. They're not disrespecting the country. YOU ARE.
