War Contractors Receive Defense of Freedom Medal For Injuries, But Attract Little Notice


Falls Church, Va. -- A former sheriff's deputy from South Dakota named Tate Mallory got a medal for service to his country on Wednesday, but it didn't get much attention.

There was no top military brass at the ceremony, no long line of politicians waiting to shake his hand. Instead, Mallory stood on a dais in an anonymous hotel room in suburban Washington, D.C., looking pleased and slightly embarrassed as he was handed a Defense of Freedom medal.

Defense of Freedom Medal?????

WTF?

Why would a mercenary receive a medal?

Whose freedom did he defend?

The highest bidder?

He should rightly be ashamed of himself.
