Worse than that! It’s the lefts war on Christmas that is inciting violence against Christmas parties. The left practically forced these two terrorist into an attack on this Christmas party by their never ending rhetoric.

>>there is an apparent valid distinction here

What is that distinction that the article is trying to make?

Muslims are like the VC back in Viet Nam. They will smile, work for you, be your friend, eat with you, and then one day they will cut your throat, shoot you in the back, or blow you up. If you capture them, they will glare at you like a person who has despised you for their entire life and there is no indication that the happy little guy you knew yesterday ever existed.

This is the enemy. He looks just like a friend.

I love my Lord, and accept that we celebrate His birth near the winter solstice.

However, I referred to it as a “holiday party” in another thread too. It was a county health department party, and certainly no “Christmas party”.

I had a ton of VC buds until I cut them off of my smokes and fire water.

Thank you for pointing that out. Given the source, one has to be suspicious of their spin.

The brother could be:

1. just what he appears to be; or

2. waiting to receive his jihadi “go” signal.

If you live or work beside someone like this are you going to bet you life on 1. or on 2.

I think I read that one brother took on responsibility for another. Father was a wife beater. Mother split with him.

I did not serve and I know very little if anything about awards and medals however when I read that list I “knew” those were nothing special.
It almost sounded as if he never even served on an actual ship in a “war” zone

He has an expeditionary medal and sea service ribbon.

No personal commendations listed.

He’s been overseas on a ship.

I was addressing the author of the piece, not you, don’t take things too personally.

Not personal. Just supporting the author’s word usage in this case.

Should they be Christmas parties? Oh yes.

The only account I’ve seen about the “highly decorated” brother mentioned that he had a Good Conduct medal.

Not exactly “highly decorated”.

(yeah, I know. Just sour grapes on my part, ‘cause I was only enlisted for two years, not long enough to qualify for a Good Conduct medal.)

No, based on them he did deploy on board a ship, but probably did his job, didn’t get into serious trouble nor did he stand out. Much like most enlisted men/women who do their hitch and get out.

Nothing wrong with that, nor anything special either.
