You got me there. I have just lost my first argument on FR, you should be very proud of yourself!

Side note, that bastard doesn't even have a CIB. What was he doing during all of our wars, passing out wool socks?

You surrender to quickly. Shinseki was probably a PAC officer, or a "Combat correspondent", or something like that.

Seriously though. If I am not mistaken, Shinseki's background is machanized. During the beret fight last year, I read reports that he wore a black beret in 'Nam, unauthorized of course, just like the Brit's armored troops do. I guess that is why he wanted the black beret ..... so he could make our Army look cool just like the Brits. Genious.

He was a cannon-cocker, hurting people's ears on both ends. They don't generally pick up CIBs along the way, though some who go out and act as forward observers with Infantry units do, and some Artillery officers branch transfer or are detailed to Special Forces, where that's a bit more common.

You've got this thing for army wool socks. Somehow your posts get around to them. I had an EX-POW SERE instructor who told me when he was a captive he spanked off so much in an army wool sock he started to grow a toe nail on the end of his.... you get the the idea.
