Bill O Reilly just looked at his DD 214 and declared that it is indeed TWO Silver Stars.

I haven't been able to see the DD 214 for myself but that's what Bill O says.

The way I've got it figured after reading the entire thread....there are just about 9 pussies presently posting. Cut the guy some slack. One thing for sure, not a single one of the pussies posting here would have walked up to him and called him a liar to his face.

DD214 confirms two Silver Stars and six Bronze Stars. He only claimed five....


I have just begun to pay attention to this issue. How did this become an issue when his DD 214 clearly shows two Silver Stars?

What difference does it make? The man did four tours and put his life on the line for your freedom. He should be celebrated for that alone instead of criticized for what was written in a book. Who cares.

And the book was for making money and he probably did say some bs in order to help sell it.

I agree with you. Who cares. His record speaks for itself.

I'd embellish some facts to sell more books and most people do.

I believe him on the New Orleans sniping story for two reasons.

1. If it was true, the military would scratch it's collective head and say "Hmmm, Never heard of that." They are apparently doing this. They would do this either way but...

2. I had an ex Army Ranger in Orlando (He was from New Orleans and still has friends and family there. He also returns every few months.) tell me about a week after Katrina there was a Seal team in N.O. taking out hostiles. This was long before the book was ever written. I could have sworn he said they were operating around Canal Blvd. though.

Everyone seems to know a military guy who knows for a fact special forces were killing people left and right after Katrina. These stories are bullshite just like the rescue dogs dying in the water. NOPD was the only group killing civilians.

It may not be true. I do find it odd that he told me about it during the aftermath of the storm when it was the wild west in there. Then nothing until all these years later.

With all the SEALs, Delta, and Israeli mercenaries killing so many people you would think there would have been at least one eye witness.

Either you or your friend is making shite up.

I mean you can't exactly tout your honor while being an outright liar at the same time.

I'm pro Chris Kyle so to speak, but the lies he told in the book were dumb and unnecessary. As someone else pointed out, his did four tours and his story was good enough as the truth. No need to lie when it calls your other stories into question as a result.

Most of the ex Rangers I know would have said it was Rangers. He specifically said Seal team. Not special forces, rescue dogs or any of that other shite.

But once again, who knows?

Because apparently a source in the Navy said that it did NOT contain that information.

I'm not really sure how that information is dispersed, but if it is easily verifiable, I'm surprised it took this long. If it isn't easily verified, I'd like to know how Rick Perry and Bill O'Reilly have seen it.

This board is full of the same type of people that believe what memes on Facebook tell them. The OT is a blessing and a curse in the amount of sheeple that are here. But it's ok for people with the ability to perform simple cursory searches to sift the actual facts from the bullcrap. Oh look, someone just posted a meme on facebook "Obama just signed an executive order to confiscate all guns" everybody spread the word!!!!!!!
