The Army Service Ribbon looks like a rainbow flag.
30 years ago we were calling it the “rainbow ribbon”, the one you got for getting past AIT. Not really a source of, dare I say, Pride.
Army Service Ribbon. I was not familiar with that. I recall the National Defense Ribbon and thought they were the same, obviously not. The ASR does look like a rainbow flag. The NDR we used to call the I was alive in 65 award.
Whatever, I cannot recall any instance during my time wherein a sergeant was sexually abused. I was not much bigger than this guy in the 60s and guarantee the article would not have been about me. I recall one incident wherein I was returning from a shower and was addressed by some senior NCO by “hey you” while yelling I was in the wrong billet. I pointedly told him my name is Sergeant. That was the end of that.
