Nor the same path to attaining it. That marine earned his metal in every way. The others, I am sure some are merited, some are just political gamesmanship. The MOH is a whole different animal, and should not be confused with a trinket presidents give out at will.

One is earned.
One is given.

I honestly do not know why anyone cares about this obvious publicity stunt with Tiger, it is not different than Bill Cosby, Ellen, or any of the others handed out over the years. Somehow it is horrible now because the Orange man did it.

I couldn't agree more. There have been some that truly deserved the Medal of Freedom. But now, its gone the way of most honors. When no one has earned it, give it to anyone.

Is it The Don's decision or does a committee of some sort decide who gets them?

It’s decided by the president.
I don’t recall any *****ing when the last three golfers got their medals. I guess that’s because we haven’t always been such a bunch of *******s. I happen to think that the history books will show Tiger to be the best golfer that ever played the sport, and if that’s not worthy of a little respect, then I don’t know what to say about some people. |
