fast definition

"Military awards and decorations are distinctions given as a mark of honor for military heroism, meritorious or outstanding service or achievement. A decoration is often a medal consisting of a ribbon and a medallion"

that agrees with my aging recall. If everybody that's 'there' gets one it's an award-nothin to be ashamed of but you aren't decorated. Those go one at a time.

Besides being a lunatic (important) she's not decorated (important to some of us but not newsies).

The term 'decorated' means as much as 'military grade' - it sounds impressive but in reality is pretty much meaningless.

She got 'show up and didn't get arrested' medals. The National Defense medal is given to EVERYBODY serving during a certain time frame (back in my day, this was at least 2 full decades).

Back in the day we referred to the Nat'l Defense Award as The Shirley Highway Ribbon.
You had to drive the Shirley Highway, that section of I95 that goes from D. C. to the Quantico Exit. Got mine, thank you.

The media when they find that two off-duty cops stopped this and they can’t somehow blame MAGA for it:

I don't know this person. So, I have no idea what was in her mind to do what she did. The modern movement of Black Lives Matter, and Abrim X. Kendi's critical race theory must exclude MLK's vision. Because MLK's vision included everybody. The modern race vision doesn't include everybody.

Maybe she'll play the victim card and claim "PTSD made me do it."

If she's sane, it seems like she was attempting to fake a hate crime, but the fact that she tried this in daylight and in the presence of others tells me she's probably a loon.

Or she's stupid. Of course she could be both.
