This particular liberal sees Monsoor's actions as completely Medal of Honor worthy, too. That was a heroic act, and I'm fully aware that most of the everyday small acts our military folks accomplish are also heroic. I appreciate and stand in awe of their service, even when they're not throwing themselves on grenades and even if I disagree with the leaders who sent them into action. I wasn't in the Navy, but I did work for nearly 8 years in a paramilitary organization known as the fire department. You develop appreciation for heroes real quickly when you fight fires or practice paramedicine, and that gives you a special ability to recognize heroic acts in others, too, no matter what your political stance.
Howdy birdgirl,

Yup..yer right-shame on me..I knew better than to say what I did,but I couldn't help myself. It does make me feel somewhat better,that there are some folks on the Left,who can appreciate Petty Officer Monsoor's brave act..so thank ya for that bit of re-assurance

I'm a big supporter of my local VFD and have 2 personal friends that work in the department,and I consider them to be heroes too.

Anyhow..I'm sorry that I gave ya reason to chastise me,I'll try and behave.

Have a good one !
