Sounds like the prefect candidate for head of Joint Chiefs when Obama is re-elected.
I believe that a praying mantis has more concern for the well being of their offspring then Gen. North has for anybody else. He seems to have a very vicious asocial personality. One day the axe he wields will fall on his own head.
That Jill Metzger scandal was shocking, and they got away with it, it seems that we and Kyrgyzstan have been at odds ever since.
And yet, Predator Drone Pilots get Bronze Stars from frickin Arizona!
Don't you mean when Obama declares a State of Emergency? Or were you simply referring to the most corrupt election process that America will ever see?
Seriously?
You can always just hit the “Caps Lock” key one more time to cease the shouting...
Give it a break with the CAPS lock, and more people might read your posts..............
“Officer and a gentleman” doesn’t mean what it used to.
Rant much?
It’s copied from original site.
>>>> Stunned that North would do what he did, Green inquired through an informed source as to the bully-boy general’s “reason” for his action. He was told that North sputtered: “We just can’t have everyone who gets a bump on the head receiving the Purple Heart.”
How does this meet any legal or commonsense definition of “corruption”? Lacking a showing this was done for reasons other then as a judgment call, the worst you can call it is a mistake.
>>> [EDITOR’S NOTE: We welcome more stories of brutality on the part of Gen. North from our many Air Force readers out there. All we ask is that you document your charges and are willing to come forward to confront the bully with the facts. Thank you.]
Reporters working an undisguised vendetta generally aren’t accorded much credibility. For obvious reasons.

And if the Predator pilots meet the criteria, why not? The provisions for the Bronze Star include:
c. Awards may be made for acts of heroism, performed under circumstances described above, which are of lesser degree than required for the award of the Silver Star.
d. The Bronze Star Medal may be awarded for meritorious achievement or meritorious service according to the following:
(1) Awards may be made to recognize single acts of merit or meritorious service. The lesser degree than that required for the award of the Legion of Merit must nevertheless have been meritorious and accomplished with distinction.
In other words, eligibility isn’t limited to directly jumping on the back of a Tiger Tank.
The Predator pilots are doing fine work killing Jihadists. Good for them. And if they can rack up the kill without giving the Taliban a chance to shoot them back, so much the better.
More likely they would qualify for a Meritorious Service Medal.
Meritorious Service Medal....or Air Medal.
