You are correct. There has been more than one instance where civilians who acted heroically were denied the Medal because of that civilian status. One that comes to mind is Bill Dixon, a civilian army scout back in the 1870's.

I can't get my head around what the Ambassador was doing there. The official story that he was trying to retrieve weapons that had been provided to the local moslem terrorists is unbelievable. No one in their right mind would give up a weapon in that environment, that would be committing suicide.

Was his purpose to retrieve evidence of some kind, such as serialized weaponry that could be traced to Clinton-Obama? If he was engaged in some kind of cover-up for them it is possible that allowing the moslems to murder him got rid of an inconvenient witness?

Or it might be as simple as her infirmities required medications that deprived her of the ability to do anything but sleep. Perhaps if they called Huma Abedin the troops would have been ordered out.

Ignoring all of the ambassador's prior requests for extraction make it obvious there was something Clinton wanted and the ambassador hadn't accomplished his task yet. Or was his task to be the false flag anchor for another war to be sold to the American people.

Essentially, I don't believe there is any evil so heinous that our government would hesitate to perpetrate, usually in the name of "security" for the protection of women and children. The everlasting child card!

Ah, finally, someone who has a brain that knows how to use it. You don't know how close you are to the truth. Some of the terrorist that were attacking the CIA compound were heard speaking in Egyptian, yelling to the other terrorist to not shoot at them because they were part of the Egyptian jihadist group that was sent by Egyptian President Morrisey to aid in the attack.

In Egypt President Morrisey had another in his hierarchy that was challenging him for political power, so President Morrisey had him arrested and sent to prison, but his son had acquired many official Egyptian docuiments that proved President Morrisey had sent those jihadists to Benghazi under the orders of President Obama, and if his father wasn't released from prison, then he was going to have the media report what was in those official Egyptian documents. But the military pulled a coup before he could do this, and threw now deposed President Morrisey in prison, which at the time President Obama stopped the arms shipment of F-16s and Abrahm tanks to Egypt, under the guise of punishment for the coup, but after receiving guarantees from the new military President of Egypt that those offical Egyptian documents would not be released to the media, President Obama then released that shipment of arms to Egypt, that the Egyptians had already paid their share for, while the federal government had picked up the rest of the cost, and those offical Egyptian documents that showed President Morrisey's part in the Benghazi terrorist attacks, under Obama's orders, were never released, and have since then disappeared, and we've heard nothing of the high ranking Egyptian official that President Morrisey had thrown in prison, his son, or if he was ever released from prison, and what happened to those official Egyptian documents that President Obama didn't want released to the media.

As far as the 'Stand-Down' order is concerned, many military presonnnel have bravely come forward, at the risk of their careers and lives, to confirm they got that order when they were actually already on the way to rescue the Americans in Benghazi that were under the jihadist terrorist attacks, but the liberal biased mainstream media have refused to report any of their testimonies to the American people, while only FOX News interviewed just a couple of them to confirm the rumors about the stand-down order, but never interviewed the many other military personnel, from several different locations in that general area, that could confirm that it was a widely given order in that region of the world. Even a US General reported the same, and then was relieved from his duty, sent back to the USA, and forced to retire.

You don't know just how close your considerations are to the truth, but be careful, for I'll be surprised if I'm not contacted by some nefarious federal employees, from some alphabet-soup agency, that the American people never hear of, over just what I have told you here.

It is MY understanding,that both of these HEROES,had been discharged from the military,and were working as civilian contractors,if true,They could NOT be awarded the Medal Of Honor !!!!!!!!!! The Medal of Honor,is strictly a military award.

Are you kidding?
This is all the Seals can expect from Obama.

Who authorized a Muslim imam to curse the 30 fallen Navy SEALS and National Guardsmen at their funeral service in Afghanistan in 2011?

After the August 2011 deaths of 30 Navy Seals and National Guard soldiers in a crash of their Chinook helicopter, during the funeral, the military command allowed a Muslim imam to do a prayer over the soldiers along with Christian ministers. There was no Muslim who died in the crash so why was an imam even there?
The Muslim imam’s prayer over the fallen servicemen CURSED the fallen troops. Here is the funeral service. Imam’s prayer begins at 4:10:

Surprise, surprise, the video that went with this article was deleted, just like the seals.

pafret, Hundred of thousands of vets gave their lives for their country, yet a relatively few have been awarded the Medal of Honor. I don't know the standard for the award, or the process involved in getting the nations highest medal for valor in combat. I remember a seeing a sailor in a video awarded the medal for shooting down a Japanese airplane during the attack on Pearl Harbor. While it was an achievement, and it took real guts to stand and fight, I don't believe it passed muster for the Medal of Honor. It was probably awarded to the sailor because the nation desperately needed a hero. In other words, it was at least partly political.
I know of men that put themselves in the line of fire in Nam, and barely got a " thanks " from their CO. Since the entire Benghazi affair has become very political, don';t bet the farm on these guys being awarded the nation's highest award.

batbob, Thanks for the correction. I was talking about the Black sailor. I was under the impression that he received the Medal of Honor. The Navy Cross ain't bad either!

boatbob2
