What he didn't isn't serious, though it is still a violation of state law.
What burns me up is that people are defending him just because he's got a bronze boat anchor around his neck that I guarantee you he never desired once in his entire life. This one is especially awful:
If I did that, there would be no Medal of Honor for me, and probably not even the Navy Cross. Why? Because I'm not a poster boy. The days of 5'2" Rodger Young giving his life to save his friends and getting the MoH posthumously are fucking over. Not a single MoH recipient in recent times has been anything other than a strong-jawed, broad-shouldered poster boy. Not a single one of them looks anything under 5'11". I'm 5'9", have a mildly recessed jaw with no money to fix it, and my chest and shoulders are smaller than Audie Murphy's were at my age. And yes, I know this for a fact because I've read Audie Murphy's medical records here: http://audiemurphy.com/documents/doc063/...ecords.pdf
The surgeons wouldn't expend half the effort on me that they did with Carpenter, because I'm not a poster boy. I'd be in far worse shape afterwards. The loss of depth perception would devastate me and ruin my life, because I love my great depth perception. I'd be medically discharged, and the media would pretend I don't exist, while focusing on the medal-wearing poster boys. The VA wouldn't give a shit about me, and would give abysmal service to me that it wouldn't dare give to anyone with the Navy Cross, let alone the MoH. No one would care about me, I wouldn't be able to get employed, and I'd be tormented by the fact that my life would be a whole lot better if my body was ideal. I'd be on the brink of suicide when I hit a pedestrian. I would follow the laws that Kyle Carpenter didn't, and my reward would be to have beer bottles thrown at me in the news articles, and be sued into bankruptcy by the person I hit. At that point, I wouldn't be able to take any more, and I'd hang myself.
All because I'm not a poster boy. You'd hang yourself too, jarhead.

Quote:You guys are absolute dicks for publicizing this Hero's unfortunate accident. Any other of you pricks that say he is the same as everyone else can kiss my ass as well. Enlist and serve your country, jump on a friggin grenade, survive years of surgeries then try to live a normal life; then have a car accident and have trouble deciding what to do because your brain doesn't function correctly...but...whatever you do from your recliners...don't show compassion for aa hero in trouble. Fuckin' keyboard commando's oughta be ashamed. Military times...i'm keepin a hard copy in the shitter to wipe with....no respect for any of you....Done!All right, jarhead. Let's see what would happen if I did that.
