Had a chance to look at that ribbon rack. There is not a single combat related ribbon. The Bronze star without a "V" device can be awarded for meritorious service, not combat action. The majority of the rest are commendation or achievement medals or the standard "I was there" type ribbons.

Yep. He flew an F16 in Korea to get some flight hours on his record and to get his ticket punched, but of course he saw no actual combat. The rest of his career is staffer jobs and “commander” of desks at various HHQs.
