Media ignores the Navy Seal who received the MOH

During the Civil War President Abraham Lincoln began a recognition for America's Bravest Warriors. Whose actions have inspired generations for their selfless devotion to duty, fearless in the face of mortal danger. Whose very actions question the sanity of those who undertake them.
US Navy Seal Michael Monsoor was such a Young Man. Who threw himself on a Grenade to protect his team mates, and sacrificed his life in the line of duty. He was honored posthumously for his Valor. And was inducted yesterday into the Pentagon's Hall Of Heroes.
The War in Iraq is now unpopular. The Surge and change in strategy is paying off. The Financial Cost of the War is huge. At a time when we cannot afford it. We are caught between the Rock and the Hard Place. To withdraw now means that Iran will fill the power vacuum in Iraq. And the Oil Reserves will fall into the hands of a National Hostile towards the West.
Our economy is dependent on Oil at a reasonable and stable price. It is neither at the moment. And Americans are not willing to allow Oil Drilling in Anwar in Alaska, off the Coast of California or Florida. Yet they are more willing to allow the blood of their young Men to be spilt in the Middle East and whine about filling up their SUVs.
