Former US Secretary of State
Henry Kissinger has received the Pentagon’s highest honor for private
citizens and foreign nationals.
Kissinger, 92, received
the Department of Defense Distinguished Public Service Award on Monday
at the Pentagon for “orchestrating countless foreign policy victories”
during his tenure as the national security adviser to President Richard
Nixon, a DOD statement said.
During the ceremony, Defense
Secretary Ashton Carter said that while Kissinger's “contributions are
far from complete, we are now beginning to appreciate what his service
has provided our country, how it has changed the way we think about
strategy and how he has helped provide greater security for our citizens
and people around the world.”

countries, invasions of South Africa particularly in Angola, Mozambique,
(and) has been involved in military confrontations with Russia.”
“I
think there is very little credibility in Kissinger’s policy, now it’s
true that Kissinger was much more deceptive in the language he used,
he’s less openly belligerent as the current administration in Washington
and elsewhere,” he told Press TV on Tuesday.
“But the question I
would ask to Kissinger is not the language that’s being used today, but
how different the world policies pursued by the US today in the Middle
East and elsewhere (are) to the world policies that he pursued
throughout Asia, Africa, Latin America,” Petras said.
