<p>What I am hearing you saying here is that you honor and respect all awardees unless they happen to be of the opposing political party, not be able to instantly recall who was President fifty years ago, get confused about which side of a border they were on, or some other rationalization fitting for the occasion, and then, instead of being subject to the normal award process which you have so eloquently described as being a part of, they should be subject to a popularity contest convened by their perhaps prejudiced peers. That’s not the way things are done in MY Navy. It also just happens to be my definition of ‘two-faced” unless you have a better term.</p>
<p>Our soldiers and sailors earned their awards under the rules and regulations in place at the time of the award. What they do or don’t do for the rest of their lives should not detract from that service. I am extremely disappointed that a serviceman of 20 years is having a problem with this.</p>
