Col. Paris Davis, 1 of 1st Black officers to lead a Special Forces team in Vietnam to receive Medal of Honor from Pres Biden today after 60-year wait

[basquebromance]

In 1941 a British Naval Intelligence officer named Ian Fleming recommended to General William (Wild Bill) Donovan that he recruit as American intelligence officers men of “absolute discretion, sobriety, devotion to duty, languages, and wide experience.” Donovan, a World War I hero and successful Wall Street lawyer, understood the fantasies of writers and Presidents, and in a memo to President Roosevelt promised an international secret service staffed by young officers who were “calculatingly reckless,” with “disciplined daring” and trained for “aggressive action.”

Billy Waugh, whose life Paris Davis saved, fit that description perfectly, as did Davis himself

What makes you think he didn't?

He didnt get it then, he didnt get it 10 years later, he didnt get it under Obama, but NOW he gets it under Biden? I find it difficult to believe.

Billy Waugh: One old Soldier who refuses to 'fade away'

For most old Soldiers, especially those past their 80th year, the glory days of service and sacrifice are long past. Then again, Billy Waugh, 81, is no ordinary "old Soldier."Waugh was a U.S. Army

Yes, politics does indeed play a role, you're correct. But this isn't Afghanistan, this is Vietnam, and white or black, they wouldn't be getting this if they didn't deserve it, anyone chosen has performed well enough to have earned this citation. In many other instances, awards are entirely, 100% political. Definitely. Lyndon Johnson and his Silver Star? Perfect example.

I dont believe it. Biden has a well documented recent history of pandering.

has nothing to do with race. the guy looks white to me by the way, but his official race is given as black. what difference does it make?

There are many heroes of the Vietnam War that could get an upgrade to the MOH.

However, Potatohead made sure it was a Black one. That is the kind of wokeness we see from his administration all the time and it is despicable.

Its apparently racist to notice the obvious.

I suspect the assholes in the Potatohead Administration specifically looked for a Negro to award the medal to rather than who was most deserving.

It is MOH diversity.

Nothing against Parker. He is deserving but this is apparent Negro ass kissing from an Administration that is so fucked up in the mind that everything is race.

Slick Willy and The Worthless Negro also did a lot of it.

I dont believe it. Biden has a well documented recent history of pandering.

One of the men saved by Colonel Davis was legendary Green Beret Billy Waugh. Billy wrote about this battle in his book, “Hunting the Jackal”. Waugh later went on to catch the terrorist Carlos The Jackal and also tracked Osama bin Laden in Sudan and Afghanistan.

until your feet touch the sand in Afghanistan or Somalia or Yemen, until someone serves one second in actual combat, they have no standing to say a SINGLE WORD about these great men

there are some of us who served our country in uniform, there are others who took a hike
