Well mainly I didn’t think he qualified for a civilian honor since he was military and a career politician after that. He also did a bit of war hawking.

Wait, you question whether a man who gave us the modern PC, smartphone, digital music, and 3D animated films deserves this medal but you have no problem with someone like Megan Rapinoe, who got beat by a bunch of high school boys, getting this award?? 🤦♂️

Oh jeez, really? How many inventions can you name that wasn’t the result of building on someone else’s idea? After all, a sticky note is technically an invention but isn’t that just paper with some weak glue one one side, both of which existed long before the sticky note? Just because something existed before doesn’t mean it didn’t require genius to actually make it into a useful product.
