If I recall Milley has a CIB with OLC (2 awards). Anyone know when this punk REMF was shot at?

He was a battalion commander in Iraq for awhile. Doubt he ever came under fire, but some of his troops probably did.

The CIB, Jump Wings and Ranger tabs have become boxes to be checked for any officer that planned on making a career in the Army.

I did look up his “medals and decorations” and they are participation awards that are given to officers as they leave one command to take over another.

I know of USAF maintenance officers who got Bronze Stars for Valor in Vietnam. They were stationed in Thailand. They would sign out a Huey and go stooge around the border between Laos and Vietnam until some commie took a potshot at them. They’d fire back with the M60 and then return and put themselves in for medals. And get them. Completely Bogus.

Milley was in Desert Storm. I’ll bet they were handing the medals out like candy bars. I’d be very surprised if they weren’t. After all. It was the only chance to get a medal since Granada. Who knows when it would happen again? There must have been hundreds of staff pukes screaming for a chance to ride a tank and “get into the action”. That CIB is worth a pile of gold to a REMF.

I can't speak or understand acronymism. Does that stand for Crabs In Butter with Olives, Lettuce and Cheddar?

WTF?

Why can't people speak English around here or is Acronymism a sign of being really, really cool?

How do I join the club?
