  • President Barack Obama awarded the Medal of Honor to Army Sgt. Kyle White for risking his life in Afghanistan to save fellow soldiers. The honor comes seven years late, after the Pentagon lost White's nomination. David Martin sits down with the American hero.

      @@jaibruh It actually does, Brian is referring to the fact that this man was in a warzone for 16 hours and needed to wait years for his medal of honor just because the people in the pentagon were being idiotic.
      And if it where their paychecks they where dealing with it would be a different scenario. To add with that I guess it still was the main event that that got misplaced so this is not that far of an outcry from that. And as you can see in my response maybe, some people DO care.
