Let Me Tell You About Captain Ben Saloman

By Rich Kozlovich

As we watch the corruption of the American military by what can only be viewed as incompetent or ever treasonous Woke leadership, and their disgraceful disregard for their duty, the lives of Americans and America's soldiers, all of which can only be described as a total failure to uphold their oath to defend the Constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic, this story resonates!

Yesterday Robert Lucas posted this article:  Captain Ben Salomon’s delayed Medal of Honor about the Battle of Saipan, and the heroics of the soldiers who fought and died there, including one Captain Ben Salomon, who posthumously received a much deserved Medal of Honor in 2002.

During WWII the Japanese placed no value on the Geneva Convention, human lives, and consistently killed wounded enemy troops and prisoners of war.  During the allied invasion of Saipan the Japanese mounted a massive counter attack, penetrating allied perimeters and driving allied forces back causing large numbers of wounded, who were crawling back for aid, with enemy soldiers right behind them, bayoneting the wounded near the aid station, which was just a tent. 

Captain Salomon saw one bayoneting a wounded soldier and killed him, he then went on to club two more, bayoneted a total of three, shot one, and head butted another who was shot by a wounded American.  After ordering the wounded to get to the regimental aid station "he grabbed a rifle from one of the wounded American soldiers and made his way to a machine gun to cover their escape. Four enemy soldiers were killed before he could get to a machine gun in order to buy time for the wounded to evacuate."

No one saw him for the next 15 hours until all that territory was retaken and what they found was  Captain Salomon's body "laying on the machine gun" with "98 dead enemy soldiers piled in front of his position".  His body had "76 bayonet and bullet wounds.......[and] a blood trail showed where he had repositioned the gun multiple times, almost certainly while fatally wounded, to continue covering the retreat.”  "Seven Medals of Honor were given in time for the heroism that took place during the Battle of Saipan. All were given posthumously.

Why did it take so long for this very real hero to get his Medal of Honor?  It wasn't because he was Jewish.  There was a "technical" problem because he was wearing a Red Cross.  

 You see, Captain Saloman was a dentist.
