If you zoom out, you’ll see that he’s buggering an altar boy when that shot was taken.

I’m not even American and if I had the chance I’d kick this guy in his ovaries.

He deserves a good kicking just for his job title.

“Director of Issues Analysis” indeed.

In the spirit of things: There’s only three people awarded the Victoria Cross and bar. Two of them were medics:

[Noel Godfrey Chavasse](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noel_Godfrey_Chavasse) (and he got an MC too)

and

[Arthur Martin-Leake](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthur_Martin-Leake)

The third was [Charles Upham](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Upham). It’s fair to say he was more a warrior than a healer.

So yeah, it isn’t all about the killing.

Interestingly, to cure this supposed “feminization” of our military, shouldn’t we end DADT. After all, as [Bryan Fischer himself said](http://www.rightwingwatch.org/content/afas-fischer-outdoes-himself):

Really, that’s a lame topic title. How about “American Family Association Blogger Sneers At Medal Of Honor Recipient”? Have you learned nothing from [the folks at the Fox Network](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=585697)?

Wow. Criticizing the choice of this man for a Medal of Honor is stupid enough, but using the word “feminizing” to describe it betrays either incredible stupidity or a truly modern and progressive use of the word “feminizing”. I bet it’s the former, though.
