Just in time for Reign of Christ Sunday
Has the lion been considering lying down with the lamb in Washington DC? If so I missed it--but this seems to be the assumption behind a couple recent commentaries.
There's been some to-do over Bryan Fischer's assertion that the congressional Medal of Honor has been "feminized"--of late it's been awarded for saving other good guys but not for taking out bad ones. Fischer points out that he never said that Salvatore Giunta, who took a bullet performing a guns-blazing rescue, is himself an undeserving girly man. It's the institution of the Medal of Honor that's gone soft, failing to honor as well those whose kill counts saved America, not just fellow American soldiers.
Noted. But for crying out loud, people still think it's okay to say "feminine" to mean "weak and squeamish"? I'm sure our women in uniform will be interested to learn that killing enemies (which many of them have done) is masculine, while the Medal of Honor (which only one woman has ever received, and she was ordered to return it) is regrettably feminine.
