There are ones you earn and the MoH is one of them. You shouldn't have got hung up on the term winning.

All the decorations one gets are earned...

By all means, please list the ones that are "won."

It's not like getting the participation trophy from playing little league.

Trust a veteran on this one. It's insulting to those who have been awarded it (and are still alive) by saying they "won" the Medal of Honor.

I am glad to see this discussion as the term 'winning' has always bothered me. In the vast majority of cases, the recipient of the MoH has acted to save his friends and fellow soldiers. Many times he is not successful and at least some of his buddies have died. There is no real 'winning' in that regard. In many cases the recipient himself has died. Certainly no winning there. IMHO, these individuals have 'earned' the award, and have also earned the all to misused moniker of 'hero'. Every time I see someone wearing that (mostly in photos) I am in awe of them.

Verizon is being sued by California firefighters' after the firm 'throttled' vital internet access because the department exceeded its data limit as crews fought the state's biggest wildfires in history

Santa Clara County Fire Department is suing Verizon Wireless after the telecoms giant limited firefighters' access as they battled the largest wildfire in Californian state history.

The company throttled the department's service as they were still battling the Mendocino Complex Fire because it had reached its data limit for the month.

When the fire department called Verizon to tell them they were in the middle of dealing with a public emergency and safety issue, a customer service representative told them they should upgrade to a more expensive plan.

The press is doing just fine without Trumps help. If they keep stirring the pot, pitting one side against the other, it will spill over. Left against right, black against white, rich against poor, women against men and everyone against gays just to create a news cycle. Sure it will explode and soon.

You are on the side of violence, just as long as it's left wing loons committing the violence guess it's ok. And make note no one has harmed the media due to the President. The media are trash and they keep you all riled up and beating people in the streets, calling people hitler and racists non stop.

So with this reasoning of tying this guy to me because he is Trump supporter. By proxy you have threatened the life of POTUS due to tweets that you are tied to based on ideology. Good work, simpleton.

As logical as you saying "he is one of you Stinky". I used the same flawed logic you used, yet you don't seem to understand it. How very enlightened of you not even being able to comprehend your own BS. That's what happens when you don't have a firm footing in reality.

Have you read the comments people posts on his tweets? It’s a disturbing amount of venom spewed. It’s easy to see where Antifa and like minded groups are finding people to do violence anonymously.

Not only does he see them, he is a contributor to the madness.

It's hard to associate Twitter people with actual people. It has turned into a platform for propagandists and disinformation. I do believe there are real people who use the platform to push the extremes for their own agenda, but mostly trolls, in my opinion.

The whole thing has turned to shite, as opposed to the glorious days of desperately trying to get a self-important celebrity to give you a second of attention.

To my knowledge Google has removed AJ from it search results has it? It holds no monopoly on video posting. AJ has a website.


But in general, yes Google is so dominant that it may be ripe for a Ma Bell type break up. That is unrelated to the AJ matter though.

I agree it’s a lot of trolls and such, but at some point all that manufactured hatred is going to have an effect on you. I read the comments below his tweets and I’m honestly surprised someone hasn’t tried to kill him yet.
