I ask because an Army Captain named Oliver Wendell Holmes did exactly that to Abraham Lincoln. He ended up becoming Chief Justice of the Supreme Court.
But I suspect times are different now. What would happen today?

Why do Righties always assume I use drugs, Oscarix? The truth is that I've been clean and sober for 12 years and never used any harder drug than Everclear.
But I guess the lack of intelligence and scholarship displayed by what passes for Conservatives these days has become something of a hallmark.
How do you guys expect to win in '08 when puns about Obama's name, Speculation that Hilly is a dyke and fussing about what John Edwards pays for a haircut are what you consider "Brilliant Political Discourse?"
Oh, I forgot. ANY contact with Consensus Reality is something you consider "Treason."

For the benefit of Bushevik ingoramuses, "Everclear" is a brand of 190 proof grain alcohol.

Holmes did not recognize Lincoln and did not tackle him. He yelled "Get down you idiot before you get shot".
Lincoln laughed.
Now, Bush IS an idiot, but has no sense of humor. So after he had the Marine shot, the USMC would give one of them a Purple Heart...

Who keeps saying that we Marines would get rewarded. We're not the Army....Those guys get all of the awards. A Marine would just get a pat on the back. J/K.
P.S. Any soldiers that read this, I'm just messing with you guys. Gotta maintain that friendly rivalry.
