Bush as Commander and Chief should be honored with the Purple Heart for his service the country?

For the last six plus years President Bush has taken the worst abuse that any president besides Truman.





Should the country award him the purple heart for taken all the slings and arrows by the press, democrats and now NINOs. And thank him for service.

Bush as Commander and Chief should be honored with the Purple Heart for his service the country?
If you want to reward the president's bravery and leadership, then write to all of your congressmen and women. Tell them to fund the troops, cut the pork, and drop the deadline crap.

Reply:He isn't A soldier.He didn't get shot.He doesn't deserve anything but a plack in some musem
Reply:My father who has a purple heart from the Korean War disagrees to put it nicely.
Reply:JUST KEEP FOOLING YOURSELF AND IMAGINE HE'LL GO ON TO WIN THE NOBEL PEACE PRIZE, IF HE'S TAKEN THE WORST ABUSE BECAUSE HE'S BEEN THE WORST PRESIDENT! BUT FRANKLY JIMMY CARTER WAS MUCH MORE ASSALTED BY BAD PRESS AND PUBLIC RELATIONS FOR INAFECTIVENESS
Reply:No. That award is only for those in uniform %26amp; for physical injuries, not for enduring character assassination.
Reply:Surely, you are joking
Reply:You should be honored with a good dose of facts, truth, logic and reality.
Reply:handcuffs would be more appropriate
Reply:...The Commander in Chief is not (by law) entitled to win any military awards... the Congressional premise behind this is since "he" is the one that issues them, "he" is not entitled to them... (Political history, #101)
Reply:No he knew what he was getting into when he took on this enourmous job. I do feel he was the right man for the job at the right time. Could you even imagine if Gore or Kerry would have won? Sends shivers down my spine to think about it lol..A purple heart no maybe the medal of honor
Reply:No why would you want to give him a purple heart if he hasn't taken a bullet? He has sent thousands of troops to Iraq (and notice how he shifted from Afghanistan to Iraq now we don't even hear from Afghanistan its all about Iraq he hasn't done his work hasn't helped captured Bin ladin!) well anyways he has sent thousands of troops meanwhile he's in his comfy chair in his office, and soldiers are dieing everyday. However what's good is that saddam is gone but why help change a country when the people don't WANT to be changed????
Reply:No he is an alcoholic, AWOL, mass murdering, coke head. Don't forget he is covering up what happened to Pat Tillman and Walter Reed. So much for "Support the Troops" crap....
Reply:that would be an insult to those who actually recieved that honor...
Reply:Bush is the worse excuse for a homo sapien I've ver seen. Thanks Bush for ruining the neo-Republican party.

Reply:While this would be an interesting debate, I think this is just going to be a Bush bashing extravaganza or others supporting Bush. However, I don't believe he should be awarded the Purple Heart because like the person before me said it should be awarded to those who are physically injured... Correct me if I'm wrong, but I highly doubt those who have taken psychological damage from war are awarded Purple Hearts.
Reply:Well, he did almost choke on a pretzel. Maybe he should get a purple heart for that. By the way, Bush does deserve criticism for his decision to invade Iraq. You really think it was a good decision???
Reply:Are you nuts?


Why do you think he is being abused by all and sundry?


He should be given a dunce cap and a lollipop.
Reply:Do you idiots really think he is serious?! He is making a point, Bush is a more competent president then any of you can be, and he takes a lot of crap from people who don't agree with him.





Haha, way to get everyone riled up Sgt 524!!!
Reply:no way , he didn't see combat , let alone get wounded ! that would be a slap in the face to anybody who has really served . should RAMBO get one ?
Reply:There is something seriously wrong with George Bush. If anything he should get a steel-toed boot applied vigorously to his butt-end.
Reply:No because that would degrade the Award for the real heroes that have deserved it. Being a President you have to face the fact that you can't please everyone, giving him the Purple Heart for what he has done, no.


I have 4 friends (2 of whom are no longer alive) that have received the Purple Heart

Reply:Well the Purple Heart is awarded to military personnel only. It is awarded for "Being wounded or killed in any action against an enemy of the United States or as a result of an act of any such enemy or opposing armed forces." So I am sorry to tell you that he is not deserving.


However, I do think that you have a point about something. It is very evident that at some point that Dubya must have taken some kind of trauma to the head. Probably from falling down when he was drunk. Maybe he could be awarded the purple keg award.





Despite the fact that Bush will not receive the Purple Heart, he is VERY generous with them. Just think of all the soldiers that would not have received one if it were not for him.
Reply:He should be honored with a noose and a short drop.
Reply:The statement itself is dishonorable to all veterans awarded the medal.
Reply:No, the President is not eligible for that award. [Obvious but very snarky comment edited.] Only military personnel wounded by enemy fire while in a combat zone. No amount of verbal abuse by the press and Congress counts as wounding under fire, and the CinC is by definition a civilian. That means even if he went to visit the troops in Baghdad and got hit by mortar fire, he wouldn't be eligible. Sorry.
Reply:Purple Hearts are awarded to soldiers injured in combat. Since Bush was not in combat, he does not deserve a Purple Heart. And the reason for the abuse he has taken is because he lied to us when he started this war. Remember the weapons of mass destruction? Still haven't been found....
Reply:Yes. He could have ignored the attacks like Clinton but he did what was right.
Reply:Yes!
