It also looks like she is wearing the NCO professional development ribbon (maroon ribbon with white stripes).
Which medal is for being a transgendered Doofus!
I didn’t serve in the service. I obviously didn’t earn these ribbons. For that reason, I leave it up to those who did to have the final say on this. That’s why I left it open to whether I was off base or not, and I’m not bothered to have folks let me know I am. They should, if they feel this way.
I will tell you, I wouldn’t be surprised if some folks who did earn those ribbons don’t agree with you. This woman is not trying to pass herself off as anything she isn’t. She is merely complying with department policy, and a supervisor who probably who probably did earn some of those ribbons, and is not offended by their use in this manor.
It is not my intent to ever offend or insult members of the armed services.
My grandfather served in France during WW-I, my father was a marine in WW-II, following his graduation from MSU in 1949, he was an Army officer in Germany in the early 1950's then a Detroit police officer until he retired.
Any other questions?
How about yourself?
As a side note, I served in the Army from 4/69 - 1/72..........
...and why is that any of your damn business?
If it's none of my "damn" business, why do you advertise the fact on your home page, gomer.
Well I’m a little Po’ed Those ribbions are US Military ribbons. I earned mine. What would a cop do to earn the same ribbon as a service member! I suggest they use Russian ribbons and awards, but awards that show valor and accomplishments earned by the American Soldier regardless of branch are only to be displayed by service personell and vetrans on special occasions!
Well, we read many times when people try to enhance their military careers by adding to it undeserved ribbons and awards. So it would not surprise me if she has done the same?
There is a report out there that says the Department made the decision to use the WWII ribbons. It is my understanding that none of the officers had anything to do with the decision.
You know they should of just called up JFnKerry. I hear he has some medals he doesn’t want.
The Army of Occupation Medal was issued for forty five years making it one of the longest active military awards of both the Second World War and the Cold War.
As a WWII vet I see wearing unearned ribbons earned in/by military service as a an assumption of an honor not qualified for or earned. There are many persons who died for this Nation who earned ribbons/badges who become just part of any glory seeking mindset. I wonder how many SC Justices have put their their lives on the line for all the garbage decisions they make.
IIRC, I think I read at the National Infantry museum that a CIB with 3 stars is almost as rare as the MOH.
Since you knew it was on my home page, why did you even ask ass$@@e?
So what's your problem dude, you trying to start a fight from your basement? Get lost..........
If there is any fault here, it belongs to the PD for electing to use DoD ribbons for its awards.
Agree...28 year vet.
I didn't look at your homepage until after you made your rude comment, Fag*@tt.
They're all gone, and it has a nice rainbow look to it.
On a more serious note, I can't comprehend how an official could do this. A veteran, no less. Knowing it would be on TV. And knowing it wouldn't be "questionable" as the headline indicates, but dishonest.
