Well are you ignorant also? Or do you just not know? :)
I don't think the Clintons limit themselves to whatever number of FBI files they pilfered. They seem to be willing to use threats, murder, anything. I still wonder how they got to Susan McDougall, and why. The MSM paraded her out in that orange jumpsuit so many times, it's a permanent image in my head. And look what they did to Rep. Livingston who was House Speaker right after Newt resigned. With a little help from Larry Flint, they made an example out of him right before the Senate was to act on impeachment. It boggles the mind to recall all of this, and so much more we'll never hear about. And to think a recent poll shows 49% want Hillary to run for President in '08. I just hope Rudy, or somebody, knocks here out in '06.
Until we hear that Pres Bush has publicly given Bubba a nickname - I think we are all right.
No
How do you know they are not?
In-contry. Why?
NO.
I don't recall if it was part of the original package, which contained the medal and ribbon. In any event the ribbon and combat V device can be purchased at the uniform shop. The main thing is that the written commendation contained the specific language authorizing the wearing of a combat "V" distinguishing device.
Ford is another one that seems completely ignored by all presidents after him. Is the rehab of the presidency the only reason 41 and 43 keep Clinton hanging around?
WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Navy has quietly accepted that Adm. Jeremy "Mike" Boorda was entitled to wear combat decorations on his uniform -- the challenged Vietnam War awards that led to his suicide two years ago.
Navy Secretary John Dalton put into Boorda's file a letter from Elmo Zumwalt Jr., the chief of naval operations during the war, which says it was "appropriate, justified and proper" for Boorda to attach the small bronze combat V's to the ribbons on his uniform. The Navy also modified Boorda's record to list the V's among his other decorations -- recognition that they were earned.
The "V" stands for valor and signifies service in combat. Boorda served on a destroyer, the USS Craig, in 1965 and as executive officer on another destroyer, the USS Brooke, in 1973, both in combat situations.
In 1965, Boorda did not qualify for the Combat V, the Washingtonian said. But in 1967 the Navy retroactively upgraded all Navy Commendation for Achievement ribbons awarded between 1961 and 1967, making Boorda eligible for the award.
"Admiral Mike Boorda's citations for awards of the Navy Achievement Medal and Navy Commendation Medal plainly state they were awarded for service including `combat operations' and `while operating in combat missions,"' Dalton's memo said.
---------------------------------------------
Boorda's citations were awarded for service including combat operations in the waters off the coast of Vietnam. That was the reason I asked. As a receipient of the "V" device during the time frame in question you are a great resource and I appreciate the information. If you could provide the exact quote from the citation that authorized the V device it would help me a great deal.
THAT is fantastic, my old FRiend...MUD
I will dig out my written commendation and give you the exact wording. I do recall however that it was the last sentence/paragraph of the write-up stating that a Combat "V" distinguishing device was authorized.

Did you?
Nobody knows that as well as I do. It's been over 20 years since I have voted for a democrat. (socialist)
The last right wing democrat I got to vote for was Ronald Reagan, who ran as a Republican. - Tom
Carter went off on his own...kind of like a black sheep of the ex-presidents club. No one can force him to play the game. Ford was ignored due to the hostility between him and Reagan after the '76 primaries. By the time the Bushs came to power, Ford was simply too old to do much.
Uh ..... NO!
Are you under the impression he was removed from office?
"Uh ..... NO!"
I agree...MUD
