We Still have Heroes

As I shudder at the potential mis-use of military power by this administration, let us at least remember that our military is composed of incredible people capable of incredible acts of valor.

Staff Sergeant Ty Michael Carter, who (when he was Specialist Carter) earned the Medal of Honor for his actions at combat outpost Keating in Afghanistan, for one.

It was an epic defense. And this first post about COP Keating seems appropriate given the current debate. To be fair, I assumed lawful orders are given.
