Wuhtuhfuh?
President Bush has been given a Purple Heart by a Vietnam Veteran. I will repeat that with further clarification added for full ironic effect. Ready?
President Bush, the man who went into the US Airforce to avoid having to shoot a gun, the man who learned to fly on the American taxpayers’ dime, the man who subsequently WENT AWOL…that same man is now in possession of a Purple Heart.
I uhhh…I got nothing. My brain has just suffered a full cognitive break with reality. It’s not like the last six years haven’t been justification enough for me to just find a corner, whither up into a ball, and rock back and forth in denial that this is actually the very real world that I have to live in — this recent event basically is like a jack boot to the ribs whilst doing all of that.
I wonder if wearing a Purple Heart given as a gift is authorized under the Stolen Valor Act, signed into law by George W. Bush in 2006. We’re obviously never going to nail this psychotic chimp for cronyism, secret prisons, manufacturing congressional consent for a baseless war, destabilizing the Middle East, etc…etc… — why not nail him on a technicality?
The Stolen Valor Act of 2005 (the Act), signed into law by President George W. Bush on December 20, 2006,[1] is a U.S. law that broadens the provisions of previous U.S. law addressing the unauthorized wearing, manufacture or selling of military decorations and medals. It is a federal offense which carries a punishment of prison time and/or a fine;(via They Promised Us Jetpacks and We Got Blogs)
