Good grief. And he did this for a Bronze Star for service (not valor).

What a clown.

All democrats do is lie, cheat, steal - they are all evil pieces of shite because they are a bunch of fricking losers.

That was no "oops", such combat awards don't show up accidentally in a personnel record and nobody would confuse that with a MSM or the like.

Its like when tampon Tim mistakenly stated he was on the battlefield in a war. Sometimes you just forget stuff like that I guess.

You don't. The BSM would be presented by your CO or another officer along with the medal and certificate detailing the actions that warranted the medal. You don't mistakenly claim or think you received it.

Correct. I have the picture of my receiving mine (for service) in Afghanistan in 2003. Cannot believe people still do stupid stuff like that today. It is so easily researched.

He has one. For service. And he is a stolen valor dirt bag (but you already knew that).

So the "honest" mistake is really a calculated, intentional lie?

Not only that, a medal with that kind of prestige has to be agreed and signed on to by someone higher than your CO.

Your CO can submit your nominationm, but it would be approved by someone at Command level.

He was also at Tiananmen Square when the tanks rolled through. That's something you just don't forget.

You don’t have to be in combat to get a bronze star. I’ve seen COs get it when they retire or transfer to a new unit. It’s not that shocking but what is shocking is thinking since it’s there I’ll wear it. That not a “I don’t know what this ribbon candy is”. Everyone knows what a bronze star is.

Just read TK's book it's all explained in great detail how you earn a bronze star.

These people also make all those details up.
