What a wonderful story. I, myself, wish I could reach out and shake this man's hand.
Of course the Post only reported it in a good light because the man is Jewish. If his last name was Smith, McClintock, MacDonald, Shultz, or Jablonski, the Post would have decried "Bush honors man who invaded soverign Chinese territory."
Gotta love heroes. Gotta hate the Post.
I do hate the fact that Rubin had to suffer an anti-semetic command structure during the time that he served, especially after the ordeal he had gone through at the hands of the Nazis. I would like to believe that a Sergeant (or squad leader) would think, "Let's send in Rubin. He's a tough little fugger" rather than "Toss the Jew to the fodder." I just never understood anti-semetism. :shrug:
