You know, some guys ought to figure when to just shut up, fold their tent and take their due. Not our boy. Bryan Fischer, Mr. "Feminized the MOH", is back for more. In a follow up post (not even at the same blog - got to hot there I’d guess), our hero says: The blowback to my column of two days ago, in which I argued that we seem to have become reluctant to award the Medal of Honor to those who take aggressive action against the enemy and kill bad guys, has been fierce. It has been angry, vituperative, hate-filled, and laced with both profanity and blasphemy. Oh, my. Who needs the skirt now? Looks like the reaction may have "feminized" Mr. Fischer a bit. As for blasphemy, let me tell you something sir – I’m on the side of angels on this one. Of course Fischer still has no clue about the reason for the outrage he spawned (or he’s chosen to ignore it) and falls back on the age old dodge that most that don't have an argument use when cornered – ignore those who ate your freakin’ lunch in reply to that bad joke of a post and claim, "these people didn't read what I wrote". No really - that's his argument: What is striking here is that readers who have reacted so viscerally to what I wrote apparently didn’t read it, or only read the parts that ticked them off. I’m guessing a fair amount of the reaction has come from those who didn’t actually read the column, but read what others said about the column. It’s been fascinating to watch. What is really both striking and fascinating is how clueless this bozo is - utterly unaware and truly out-to-lunch. Hey, meat head, the visceral reaction was to the stupidity of your premise. It had to do with you using "feminized" as a pejorative (look that up if that skipped by you skippy) and in conjunction with the Medal of Honor. It had to do with the fact that you were ignorant about the MOHs that have been given in Iraq and Afghanistan. Yes, that’s right – ignorant. As in “uninformed”. Don’t know what you‘re talking about. Check? In fact, it is clear you still don’t know what you’re talking about and each time you try to justify your nonsense you look even worse. Here, let me give you an example: I’m not saying that our soldiers have become feminized in the least, especially those who have earned the Medal of Honor. It’s not our soldiers who have become feminized, it is the awards process that has become feminized. What I am saying is that I am observing a trend in which we single out bravery in self-defense and yet seem hesitant to single out bravery in launching aggressive attacks that result in the deaths of enemy soldiers. This is something only a person who has never worn a uniform could write. It is the sort of nonsense that makes anyone who has served a day in uniform grind their teeth and plot mayhem. It could only come from some pencil necked geek whose idea of war comes from an Xbox. How in the hell, sir, do you suppose those who were in a position to earn the MOH got in the situation they were in? By aggressively taking the war to the enemy, you boob. We were the aggressor in Iraq. We are the aggressor in Af/Pak. This ain’t Normandy. They don’t conveniently line up behind the freakin’ sea wall. You have to go out there, find them and root them out. And by George, they sometimes try to strike back. Go freakin’ figure! It’s called WAR you dope. Something you’ve obviously never experienced and know precious little about. When SSG Robby Miller earned his posthumous Medal of Honor he was a part of an “aggressive” patrol sent out in a Taliban stronghold to root them out and kill them. And that’s precisely what Miller did, until mortally wounded himself. I’ve already acquainted you with SFC Paul Ray Smith. Smith is estimated to have killed 50 bad guys. Why? Because we’d pushed out aggressively and turned over a hornet’s nest of enemy soldiers. SSG Sal Giunta was a part of an operation looking for the Taliban with the aim of killing them. He and his squad weren’t wandering around out there to give the Talibs target practice or hunkered down behind a rock while they bad guys took pot shots at them. The point? There is no freakin’ “trend” except between your rather large ears. But he blathers on anyway, again trying to support the unsupportable. And of course, it’s time for a little whine again: It is striking that a certain amount of the criticism I have received actually verifies my thesis. In response to my call to also honor those who have killed bad guys in defense of our country, I have been called everything from savage to brute to bloodthirsty to anti-American to un-American to traitor to “expletives deleted” to the antichrist himself. Surely some of this supports my contention that we have become too squeamish to honor such valor. It’s almost as if it embarrasses us, as if we feel there is something inappropriate about awarding our highest honor to those who kill the enemy in battle. It is as if our culture has become so soft and so feminized that it makes us enormously uncomfortable to think about praising such actions. It’s like we know such warfare needs to be waged, but we’re hoping we don’t have to find out very much about it. It apparently is easier for us to honor valor when exhibited in self-defense, but we find ourselves reluctant to honor killing the enemy when we are the aggressor in a military setting. Bullsqueeze, you clueless popinjay. When SSG Jared Monti died trying to rescue a fellow soldier he was a part of an attacking force....
