It certainly explains all the Maga morons. They see themselves in him and feel represented.

You might want to check that again. She’ll be 60 in October.
Edit: Yup. That one sailed so far over head, I didn’t even hear the woosh as it went past.
Fellow vet, hoped to be done fighting, but this country is devolving into madness, and I’m prepared to fight for the constitution. I took an oath, as all that served did, to defend this country from all enemies, foreign or domestic, and I took that oath to heart. Hope for the best, prepared for the worst.
Generally speaking, most of this stuff is purchased through civilian stores just off post catering to military needs. No paperwork required to buy, but you’d be better off dead than to get caught wearing awards you didn’t earn. And yes, there are ceremonies and other formal occasions where one needs to wear a dress uniform with all your ribbons and awards on them.
Wearing medals or badges you didn’t earn is super cringy, and you’re basically just shitting on everyone who actually did earn them. I’m not trying to take away this guys service, but as an actual recipient of a CIB, I feel like his lying is a direct slap in the face.
Yeah, but we used to call the guys that just went and bought shit they didn’t earn PX Rangers. Anyone could go buy any badge or medal they wanted, but that doesn’t mean they earned the right to wear it or that they have the documents proving they were awarded it… and I don’t know about you, but I got presented with a certificate and a physical medal for every medal I earned, badges we had to buy but only after they were earned.
I’m guessing the whole unit got put in for them, and he was part of the unit, just not in an MOS (military occupational specialty) qualified to earn this particular combat badge. Someone didn’t look close enough and just rubber stamped it. Basically, it just slipped through the cracks… but he knows as he knew then he wasn’t in an MOS that could receive this award.
The Combat Infantry Badge, as the article mentions, is only awarded to infantry and special forces soldiers that have seen combat as typically these units were the only ones that saw action. With Afghanistan and Iraq, we saw a new form of conflict where there wasn’t a specified frontline to the fighting and support rolls (such as the one he was in) often found themselves under fire. There was some push to award all soldiers that saw combat a CIB regardless of what job they held. The Army decided against doing this, but they did eventually create the Combat Action Badge (CAB) in 2005, which is similar to a CIB in that the recipient must be engaged in combat to earn it, but it is awarded to any MOS. He likely would have qualified for the CAB through his service, but I’m guessing it just wasn’t a thing when he served.
Ok, but why does this picture make me think he just wants to rub his nipples?
If the GOP wants to bring morals back, all they have to do is stop being so amoral.
I don’t think the world is ready to deal with the type of power one would wield after being deputized by a pillow salesman.
The amount this woman fails to grasp, morally or otherwise, is truly astounding. I still blame her for Trump’s win, and wished they’d both just fuck off already.
But she is too competent and would make him look foolish by comparison… and she has a vagina, so he’ll never pick her.
