#1 Anyone who's served in the military in any capacity has the respect of his fellow citizens, whether they've won medals or spent four years shoveling horseshit at the base stables in Greenland. I don't know why people who've served their country with honor can't feel proud enough of what they've done without having to exaggerate their achievements.

#2 Why didn't he just have JF Kerry doctor him up some medal write ups? He did a good job making it seem like he was Audy Murphy incarnate (at least to the MSM). This guy is old and probably wanted to feel important (kind of like JF Kerry).

#3 Exactly CP and his real ones....
e said the only medals he earned were ones for service in the Asiatic-Pacific campaign in World War II and the Korean War

would have sufficed.

#5 It's all centered in Roswell because of the Lizard people. I don't trust anyone anymore.

#6 CP and Ship, you are right and I am ashamed of my comments now. If you peeled potatoes, guarded war plants, inventoried TP, stomed beaches, dog-fought zeros, or torpetoed ships you should feel proud of that service. My TI pointed out in basic "How long would you continue to work if you weren't paid, fed, or had a place to sleep?" Everyone has a part and the parts work together as a TEAM. Please disreagard my earlier remarks.

#8 The liberals will have a field day with this one. "Why can't he wear what he wants"..."military glorification"...blah blah. To them, a medal is just a piece of metal, which couldn't be farther from the truth.
