This happened almost 15 years ago. Why is he just getting the MOH now?

Upon entering the room, Bellavia discovered it was filled with propane tanks and plastic explosives. He did not fire his weapon for fear of setting off an explosion and instead then engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the insurgent, which led to Bellavia killing the insurgent by stabbing him in the collarbone.

American hero.

Sadly, we’ll hear more about how the pink haired lesbian soccer player who’s not going to the “fricking” White House is a hero for her brave protest during the anthem.

No real explanation, but that's just the way it happens sometimes. During Obama's presidency well over 30 MOH winners were from WWII, Korea and Vietnam.

Yeah, but those were (for the most part) upgrades to minorities. There was a clear bias toward white men in WWII and Korea. Not as much in Vietnam.

This is a white guy and there were plenty of witnesses. It seems odd to me that it would take 15 years. Five to seven, you see pretty often, but 15?

Sad I will only hear about him here and not on the front page of every news channel next to the story about the Kardashians.

Unfortunately, he is no hero to the left or the mainstream media. NOW, if he was a gay tranny forcing his five year old to have gender reassignment surgery -- THEN he would be a hero to the left and worthy of front page news for his "bravery".

I doubt this thread goes more than a page and a half

A true hero. Too bad most people won't hear about him because they watch CNN or MSNBC

Really fricking telling. Watched CBS news this morning, and not a mention of this. They covered Mueller, Migrants, and Cardi B

Congrats victims, yall made a thread about a MOH hero sound like a housewives facebook post. "I bet this picture of this hero wont even get 100 likes!"

It takes a while for whatever reason to receive one if you dont die during your citation sometimes.


This is the first living recipient to receive the MOH for the entire Iraq War

And instead of steering the thread back to the war hero you choose instead to mock posters to satisfy your vanity and prove to yourself that you’re better than them. Well done.
