IIRC, Slick Willy had tried something similar with combat pay and the award of CIBs and combat patches to personnel in Somalia prior to October '93, refusing to admit that our personnel were involved in any combat.

After October 3rd that year, it became impossible to deny.

My Marines and I were denied the Combat Action Ribbon in Somalia. Apparently we only imagined the 4 fire fights we participated in.
