Few of those medals have ever been awarded other than in extreme hostility and overwhelming power from enemy forces. They have advanced through no-man's land, with little regard for their own survival and have cleared all kinds of obstacles in order to reach their destination. The "Green Banana of Honor" will be awarded to those new to this war of attrition and nerves. They will be promoted through the ranks quickly so they too can enjoy the golden banana.

Actually I think you learn more from cartoons than from history. And the above medals awarded by Germany are a joke. The coalition in Afghanistan is a joke and above all the War on Drugs is the biggest joke if weren't tragic. Try watching the 'Iron Giant' for a sweet treat.

You are a true hero, but some even don't have the chance to be a hero in the face of overwhelming odds of being hurt or killed. Those are the ones that may properly called SUICIDE MISSIONS. So step forward and you will be condecorated with the 'Golden Banana of Honor' and the 'Grand Peel of the Order of the Monkey.' Around here the monkeys do GUERRILLA WARFARE by riding Huffies on sidewalks. |
