“Decorated” you say? Those are both ribbons EVERYONE gets at the end of basic training, IIRC. If he’d had any commendation medals or higher, then I’d agree with the headline. The press know nearly nothing about the armed forces, because they’d never think of serving and probably don’t have any friends that did, either.

I’d be interested in hearing of his views on race, religion and what he accomplished after being dumped from the military. “Decorated”...what a laugh.

““Decorated” you say?”

I don’t say the article says so!

He didn’t serve in any combat role.

Yea I had to laugh at that one.

Yes , I wouldn’t consider “I was there “ Awards as decorations worth mentioning.

I was listening to a reporter speak of the Battleship moored at the Navy Yard. We haven’t had battleships since they retires the New Jersey and the water in the Potomac isn’t deep enough to float one past the Morgantown Bridge.

Of course it a Destroyer and not a large one at that.

It serves the only available liberal meme. He wasn't Tea Party, so it must be that he was a crazy decorated vet with post traumatic stress disorder who went nuts. Therefore, we need to prevent veterans from owning guns after they are discharged.

I wish the military would just do away with those automatic awards, but they have to keep AAFES/NEX and Vanguard happy.
