We had two guys from my unit in Bangkok who did a TDY into Nam. They both received the bronze medal with 'V' device. They damn sure earned it.

When they returned and received their end of month pay, with the extra combat pay, they both went AWOL.

They returned while I was on duty at the front gate. My orders were to arrest them if they showed up. I did and handcuffed them to the front gate.

After calling the S-2 to come get them, I asked them where they'd been, and what they had been up to. (They were friends of mine, it was NOT an interrogation.)

They said they'd just been shacking up and drinking until they ran of drinking money so had to return.

Within a month they both ets'd and got out

Many medals were earned. And very many were not. Since Vietnam it’s part of the ticket punch.

inedible meals, inadequate billeting, and poorly focused mission. But you get a ribbon.

Guadalcanal guys didn’t get ribbons, but those who guarded cowards do.

They should receive a ribbon for being around so many democrats it must be some sort of military experiment going on.

I think that’s it!

Now we can convene the All-American Extraordinary Commission at the Council of People’s Commissars for Combating Counter-Revolution and Sabotage, headed by Direktor J. Edgar Wray to pass out this noble award for standing around and looking menacing for Peloi’s photographers.

Вперед к победе, товарищ!
