An equally big slap in the face of the American public was giving the Medal of Freedom to the purple haired America-hating freak Rapinoe.

Most base/installation commanders are O-6's (Navy Captain/Army Colonel). They are responsible for the day to day administration of them post, public works, law enforcement, real property maintenance/management etc. Typically, there will be tenant units that are commanded by people of higher rank.

Their position is roughly analogous to the mayor of a state capitol city where you have a state governor and his cabinet seated, as well as very powerful and influential private sector CEOs. The Mayor has some authority, but is often beholden directly or indirectly to many of his residents.

Legion of Merit at his rank as a Retirement Award is basically a F You.

I have 2 LOM, both awarded upon PCS, one as an E7, one as an E8.

Ok Haley... grow up. If the water won’t light on fire and he was drinking it, what’s your beef.

“Misuse of word “poisoned”, which means something that kills no matter how tiny the dose.”

Incorrect. The dosage makes the poison.

In the medical context it would be exactly as the dictionary defines it. I can guarantee that.

Sure you can. 🙂 Category 1 and 2 poisons haven’t earned the skull and crossbones for no reason.

Not in a lot of cases. Try finding a safe amount of hydrazine to work with, for example.

The people in this story were not poisoned. They got sick from contaminated water.

From the medical dictionaries ...

Taber's Medical Dictionary - Poison

Any substance taken into the body by ingestion, inhalation, injection, or absorption that interferes with normal physiology.

Virtually any substance can be poisonous if consumed in sufficient quantity; therefore poison more often implies an excessive degree of dosage rather than a specific group of substances. Aspirin is not usually thought of as a poison, but overdoses of this drug kill more children accidentally each year than any of the traditional poisons.

medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/poison

a substance that, on ingestion, inhalation, absorption, application, injection, or development within the body, in relatively small amounts, may cause structural or functional disturbance. Called also toxin and venom. adj., adj poisonous.

freethesaurus.com/poison

Synonyms for 'poison' toxin, venom, bane (archaic)

I guarantee you that no doctor would agree with your definition.

Gasoline sits on top of water.

In a tank, water will go to the bottom of the tank and gasoline will go to the top of the tank.

The Navy tends not to degrade medals like the Air Force & Army.

Even worse then. If your retirement Award at his rank after 20 is a LOM then they didn’t think too much of him. Probably trying to discourage him requesting a Retirement Ceremony.

Makes sense since the military has a thing for poisoned water (see Camp Lejeune).
