'"...Our nation is also indebted to U.S. Army Sergeant Joseph Darby who, despite great personal risk, stood up for the rule of law and exposed the torture and scandal in Iraq. In a time when politics and government have been marked by incivility and partisanship, these individuals have distinguished themselves by their political and moral courage and by their vision of what was right for the country...."'

They both look like Michael Moore, but then again fat liberals all look alike to me.

Is that a decanter of Scotch he has in his hands? Kennedy looks like he don't want to turn it loose, must be.

I'm surprised his unit C.O. let him wear a uniform to this shindig. If he wants to act like a civilian, and maintain his personal appearance and fitness like a civilian, he oughta dress like one.

Agreed.

absolutely.

This man should never have been in uniform in the first place.

There are guys in the army who are stocky and carry some weight, but are physically fit and can pound miles with the best of em.

This momo is seriously out of ht/wt proportion.

I was regularly checked for my ht/wt, I'm 5'8". I weigh 200lbs. I have been the same since I was 18. My body likes my weight. I can get to 180/190 with some serious, and I mean hard work serious PT. But my body likes 200lbs. I also ran a 12:30-13:00 2 mile, 100su/100pu from basic to my last PT test.

If the army has people like this, regardless of his position or occupation, as a EFFING SERGEANT something is seriously out of whack.

Or maybe they just measure his neck from the 4th chin....

Didn't he fail to do his job to prevent it?

Good point.
