She took them out for dinner and drinks.

The AFCOM is not exactly the Medal of Honor, but journalists know next to nothing about the military.

Somewhere in upper New York state there is a monument to Benedict Arnold’s leg.

Yesterday, a Winner. Today, a Loser.

What was her assistance? Translating something? Sounds like everyone got an award.

[originalbuckeye]

These days the other service arms refer to the Air Force as The CHAIR Force.

Army Commendation Medals, AF, Navy etc are not high ranking medals and many times given when someone did a half decent job but is leaving the military or going to another assignment. This award means nothing.

This is how she got a Top Secret SCI clearance. Cryptolinguists must get the clearance before the first duty station. The Feds just transfered the clearance to her civilian career when she separated.

[Williams]

That’s all good. Doesn’t excuse her subsequent blatant crime. I once worked in a store where an employee was arrested for theft. Funny thing is, the week before she had caught a group of shoplifters and received an award. That’s called irony.

And, the Justice Dept. will give her a cell to live in!

My brother got the Army Commendation Medal. His whole company got it for service in an operation while in ‘Nam. Chances are, her whole unit got the Air Force Commendation Medal too. Maybe some of her fellow service members will step forward in the coming weeks, and give their points of view on her service time.

People I know still in the service say a lot of the people who joined up in the last 10 years are big libs there only for the benes. When they get deployment orders they easily get out of it. Air Force is the biggest lib magnet

[Yo-Yo]

Gee, I got an Air Force Commendation Medal, too. It arrived about a month after I separated from the USAF for college.

Mine was essentially for being skilled with a soldering iron.

I'm still not buying this.

She is a traitor. It is unfortunate that she won’t be hanged.

[Crucial]

You get honored for serving your country.

You get punished for illegal transgressions.

It’s not complicated.

[virgil]

Don’t care. She a traitor now.

[Mustard]

I was awarded the AFCM, mainly for not falling out of the aircraft during airdrop missions.

[pfflier]

I was awarded an Air Force Commendation Medal (AFCM) and never compromised or used it to justify the compromise of classified information.

BTW the AFCM is semi-mockingly called the PCS ribbon. If you do a halfway decent job the unit you are leaving recommends a Meritorious Service Medal which is then downgraded to the AFCM by the major command.
