http://www.army.mil/medalofhonor/adkins/?from=hp_spotlight I looked up BAD ASS in the dictionary and found a picture of Bennie Adkins During the 38-hour battle and 48-hours of escape and evasion, Adkins fought with mortars, machine guns, recoilless rifles, small arms, and hand grenades, killing an estimated 135 - 175 of the enemy and sustaining 18 different wounds. Despite this overwhelming force, Adkins maneuvered outside the camp to evacuate a seriously wounded American and draw fire away from the aircraft all the while successfully covering the rescue. | |

Wow, what I killing machine! Who hung the medal on him doesn't mean anything to me. I'm sorry that he had to do this for a war the accomplished NOTHING. I'm sorry that 58,000 young men died for a war that accomplished nothing. I'm sorry that he, and 200,000 men got wounded in a war that accomplished nothing.

Serious question here. How does that much time pass between the actual action and the MOH going where it's deserved? Thanks, Keith |

Elected officials in Washington DC and their civilian employees making their pay check by dragging their collective butts... Or other body parts. They mostly just drag along waiting on the next paycheck or bribe. To the 12 honest people working in DC, I'm sorry to have categorically included you in this statement. Victor |

But as to Victor's suggestion that there are 12 honest people in DC,,,,, Are you sure there are THAT many? Seems high, don'tcha think? |
