10. Bryan Fischer: We’ve ‘Feminized’ Medal Of Honor By Not Giving It To Soldiers Who Kill More People...

Yes, it is THAT Bryan Fischer..

Jillian Rayfield November 17, 2010

Bryan Fischer, the “Director of Issues Analysis” for the conservative Christian group the American Family Association, was unhappy yesterday that President Obama awarded the Medal of Honor to a soldier for saving lives. This, Fischer wrote on his blog, shows that the Medal of Honor has been “feminized” because “we now award it only for preventing casualties, not for inflicting them...”

Giunta, the first living Medal of Honor winner of the Afghanistan and Iraq wars, braved heavy gunfire to pull a fellow soldier to cover and rescued another who was being dragged away by insurgents...

He's taken the Rush Limbaugh definition of the purpose of the military, WORD for WORD, to heart:

Fischer’s take? “So the question is this: when are we going to start awarding the Medal of Honor once again for soldiers who kill people and break things so our families can sleep safely at night?”

Another effort to give credence to his not-quite-in-the-Bible teachings:

“We have feminized the Medal of Honor,” Fischer wrote. He also quoted General Patton: “Gen. George Patton once famously said, ‘The object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other guy die for his.’” (Actually, Patton doesn’t say anything about the other guy: “The object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his.”)

Go to the link. He also calls for the extinction of grizzly bears...
