This guy has more baggage than Thomas Eagleton. .

There was a huge deluge of memorial statiums after WWII to assuage the demands of veterans for honoring of some kind. Andy Rooney had it right, the veterans already got what they deserve, a free country.
Stolen valor marks the continuation of the “you owe us” mentality of veterans, no different from the deference owed to blacks for being black, in the minds of blacks.
Attention to your entitlement to preferences diverts you from stuff that might actually advance you.
Like everything having to do with caring, it produces only perverse consequences. All the problems that caring can solve without perverse consequences have already been solved. What’s left is a population of perverse problems. Leave them alone.
“Stolen valor marks the continuation of the “you owe us” mentality of veterans, no different from the deference owed to blacks for being black, in the minds of blacks.”
Tell me you didn’t serve and don’t understand veterans without actually telling me you didn’t serve and don’t understand veterans.
What a maroon.
Post WWII Reader’s Digest jokes were often about some vet in a job requiring some subordinate to address him by former rank and that somebody turning out to have had a higher rank. The embarrassments of valor when not everybody is going along.
Your snide little homily here has absolutely nothing to do with actual Stolen Valor.
Not that you would recognize or understand it.
Would valor be thought to show good character? Perhaps good character is the right way to show good character, though, outside of the military.
It would apply better to Tampon Tim in any case. The feelings of miffed veterans don’t matter, as that trades on the wrong thing.
rhhardin,
Telling lies isn’t a demonstration of good character. When folks choose to be deceitful about their military record (or lack) that’s not the kind of person you want in a leadership position. Any lie about one’s service record used to secure a promotion, win election, to be hired, receive anything of value is IMO ‘stolen valor’.
Hardin: “The feelings of miffed veterans don’t matter, as that trades on the wrong thing.”
Yet again with the retardation. There are over 16.5 million vets in this country, and the vast majority of them did their duty honorably. Many of these 16.5 million have seen combat. I would most certainly state that their feelings DO matter, very much.
Here’s the thing with you: you’re so caught up contemplating the lint in your navel while ruminating on some sort of esoteric bullshit that you fail to grasp the most common-sense things. You don’t see how “Duty, Honor, Country” have any value to people who have put their lives on the line so you can post your ridiculous drivel here.
It’s a sociological question, and a political question what place military team thinking has in civilian society. I’d say none, it’s the opposite of what you want.

NIcole Kidman: So, did they give you any new medals?
George Clooney: Yes, they did.
NK: Well, you worked hard for them.
GC: Thank you.
She didn’t get any medals for her share of the work but it’s not part of her culture _and would not fit_. She’s a civilian. No valor meme.
Hardin: just stop. You’ve clearly forgotten the First Law of Holes.
Why are you here? You post drivel, you make no sense, and you have no point to make other than your hatred of women’s feelings.
You can’t make an argument that doesn’t rely on facts, only subjective gobbledigook. You clearly have some intelligence, but it is all totally wasted by your inability to clearly enunciate a single thought.
Valor as in stolen valor is a term that doesn’t mean valor in a civilian sense. It’s more fitting into the military situation at hand, a matter of training and brainwashing. You can get medals for it.
I was always impressed by how few campaign ribbons Eisenhower wore. Compare today, valor all over.
What’s praiseworthy about the military is that you’re called and you go, the calling of you makes you unique and irreplaceable, which is its moral component.
That’s just ordinary morality though. Making it technical and military doesn’t make it better. It comes down to good character and doesn’t need medals.
Dude, it’s awfully early in the morning to be hitting the crack-pipe this hard.
You never served, you don’t know anyone who served and you resent the fact that your behavior is not admired.
You tiny little man.
The media line is that good old Tim stole no valor. He accidentally pocketed it, and returned it when this unintentional mistake was brought to his attention.
Oh my, someone has unearthed C-Span video of a congressional hearing (House Veterans Affairs Committee) where Walz FALLACIOUSLY claims he has PTSD from his time in Afghanistan. That’s a helluva ‘misspeak.’
