Dakota Meyer, you're a real hero and a true soldier. You are worthy of the Medal of Honor. You have learned the true meaning of patriotism, heroism, discipline, and bravery.

I am the first to vote down this ugly video of government propoganda and lies. Most war stories are made up and false credit is always given out to the wrong people to make up a great story for the war effort.

the marines were under heavy fire and radioed for an air strike to help get them out. under new rules of engagement, the request was refused to prevent civilian casualties, even though they were nowhere hnear a village. it took over an hour to get the request approved even though air cover was five minutes away and by then 13 were dead including 4 marines, who's bodies meyer retrieved for their families. this should never have happened. when our men need help, we should help them!
