Many years ago, when I immigrated to the United States, I was told that "anything goes" in America, and I took it with a grain of salt.
Now, that has changed, I am a believer.
Today the man in the White House, Donald "Bone Spurs" Trump, who dodged the draft, has awarded an Iraq War soldier, David Bellavia, the Medal of Honor.
Now I have indeed seen it all living in this United States of America!
