Thank you for that explanation of Scavino’s photo, hedgetrimmer. Sounds very accurate. I hope everyone reads it. Just so they get another chance, I’ll copy it.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

BROUGHT OVER:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In the Army campaign Inherent Resolve against ISIL, the first phase was called Abeyance (15-Jun-14 to 25 Nov-15). That phase was to degrade and reduce the combat effectiveness of the enemy.

The next phases are Intensification, Defeat, then Support and Stabilization. If you participated in a phase of the operation, you get a campaign star for that phase, and the privilege to a campaign banner or flag.

Is the President telling us that the first phase, which could mean holding the enemy in abeyance, has been completed?

And now, by all indications, we are entering the intensification phase of the operation?

According to Wikipedia, the campaign medal for Inherent Resolve features “the medal’s mailed fist and dagger represent “strength and courage in the defense of liberty and freedom”. The scorpion being impaled was chosen because, “The scorpion, symbolic for treachery and destruction, is found on most major land masses”.

So maybe the Revolution is not on hold, but the first phase of containing the enemy is complete? To me the photo implies if we participate in this Inherent Resolve, we should show strength and courage in the defense of liberty and freedom, and that the campaign is moving forward.
