Audie Murphy vs. David Hogg. Both were 17 years old when events changed their lives. Audie Murphy killed 50 Germans shooting atop a burning tank in a fierce World War II battle, himself wounded, saving his buddies’ lives. Murphy became the most decorated WWII soldier. He received the Medal of Honor.

David Hogg, Parkland shooting survivor, hid in a classroom until the shooting was over, got on his bicycle, rushed home to get his camera, rode the two-wheeler three miles back to the M.S. Douglas High School for his photo op with the media. He became the media’s poster-boy for the anti-gun movement and demonization of the NRA.

Who will defend our freedom?

Do we even care?
