not exactly sure what to make of the big TY, but tks, LOL

Also, re your next post re MOH.......I’ve met Sammy Davis many times at various get-togethers and his attitude is the same as Donolons. Sort of like having one makes one responsible to the many unsung heroes. I knew a couple of (also) very ordinary guys who surely should have gotten one for a few minutes or an instant of unplanned madness and loyalty in the dark.

sorry to say it, but I contrast these men with kerry, who after a cowardly full-throttle run downstream from what was probably the only enemy action he ever saw, was successful in weaseling himself into a SSV. How can this creature look into the mirror every morning?

well, the TU was for saying that the CAB is NOT (& isn't imVho,) the same as the CIB.

fwiw, i'm a holder of the EIB (but NOT the CIB- MPs aren't eligible for the CIB.) & doing that series of tests was the hardest thing i ever did in the army!!!

as for "HANOI-john", he (imVho) is to quote another "old soldier", "un homme sans honneur".

check out post #153.

thought you might get a kick out of Joe's comment about being recruited to MM's.

also, his (rueful comment), "old soldiers never die. they only smell that way."
