10. Yet another peek into the worldview that innervates this President:
He has his army flunkies take away awards for bravery if American soldiers perform too well against Muslim adversaries:
“Captain Golsteyn was alone running in the open through enemy gun fire that had over 80 men pinned down, and from the crow’s nest on top of FOB McQueary it looked like Captain Golsteyn was alone fighting 30 enemy fighters out in the poppy fields,” the narrative says.
Dodging fire, he ran to a spot from which he could unleash rifle fire to provide cover for the medical evacuation. Enemy reinforcements of about 80 Taliban arrived, increasing a barrage of small arms fire. The Green Beret again exposed himself to fire to gain positive identification of the target, which in turn allowed a Navy F-18 Hornet to hit the compound with two 500-pound satellite-guided bombs.
....ArmySecretary John McHugh unilaterally canceling the Silver Star, one of the military’s highest honors, for a former Green Beret officer.....even though he has not been charged with any offenses. The Army now is seeking to release him with a less-than-honorable discharge."
Army's withdrawal of officer's Silver Star sparks ire of Congress - Washington Times
The Obama official's objection? "... killing a terrorist who was making improvised explosive devices (IEDs), the weapon that has killed more Americans in Afghanistanthan any other. "

The man killed was never connected to bomb making. Why did you leave that part out.
Says who?
The NYLiar???
"The CIA disclosure prompted the Armyto launch a criminal investigation. Agents fanned out to interview his combat cohorts in Marjah, Afghanistan. The report remains confidential, but sources say it could never confirm thatMaj. Golsteyn did anything criminally wrong outside of his statements to the CIA."
