VisitTrump's Medal of Honor Remarks Stir Controversy
Aug 16, 2024, 05:13 PM
Former President Donald Trump has sparked controversy with his recent comments comparing the Medal of Freedom to the Medal of Honor. Trump suggested that the civilian presidential honor is 'actually much better' than the Medal of Honor, which is awarded to military personnel for acts of valor. This comparison has drawn criticism, particularly from those who view it as disrespectful to veterans. JD Vance defended Trump's remarks, stating it is 'totally reasonable' because the Medal of Honor recipients are often 'in very bad shape' or 'dead.' The comments have reignited discussions about Trump's stance on military honors and veterans.
