From the CBC:
EDMONTON - Thirty Canadian soldiers received Bronze Star medals from the United
States for bravery and meritorious service in Afghanistan during a ceremony in
front of 700 troops.
Glad to see the CBC's finally got it right, on its website, at least. Last night on TV, it was claiming that the soldiers had earned "Bronze Cross" medals.
If I were the suspiciously-minded sort, I'd think the CBC was attempting to conflate the Bronze Star and the Iron Cross.
But never attribute malignity where simple ignorance will do.
The CBC -- the entire Eastern elite, really -- is so contemptuous of the military
that it can't be bothered to fact-check what it knows in its heart to be true:
Medals-schmedals; they're all the same, right?
