    Those that risk their lives for others should be required to listen to stupid jokes at a ceremony to honor their sacrifice and commemorate their gallantry...

    I am no fan of the HNIC but in this case I think your outrage is a little misplaced. Having a live MOH winner you can joke with is a big change of pace for the president. The kid didn't seem like he was offended; the president took time to have a beer with the kid as well, so maybe pump the brakes a little bit. Maybe save our rage at the Prez for when he really deserves it.

    Super proud of that young Marine. His actions were amazing.

    I have a hard time looking at Barry and not seeing someone that hates America and everything good about it (which would include our servicemen and women).

    But a little levity at these ceremonies is fine. At least he still allows the prayer at the beginning.

    Like the other 1434 minutes of every day.

    Agreed, this young man is a credit to the Corps, and humble to boot.

    Discussion is an exchange of intelligence. Argument is an exchange of

    BO is uncomfortable around military persons so his writers write jokes so he can seem more relaxed.

    You folks should read Bing West's book, "The Wrong War". He was with them and tells Meyers story.

    Ya know, I think was all in kind. Didn't feel offensive to me. Hats off to Dakota. If he was offended, I am sure we would have heard about it by now.
