Iraq 2005...Bronze stars went to E7 and above...given out like PEZ candy!
Never liked those friggin UN beret’s.
I flew a mission with a Headquarters Lt.Col. paper pusher ( he wanted to see what it was like)....Damned if he didn't get a purple heart from a piece of hot brass taking him in the chin...Not bitter...just tellin’ it like it is...Career Officers need PEZ!!....patriots do not..
They did the same thing in Somalia and Desert Storm. Nothing new.
