Who served, and with what unit?

"For the past month, the Swift Boat Vets have insisted Kerry did not legitimately earn his medals. Those assertions have all been discredited. Fairness now requires similar scrutiny to Bush's medals."

Actually Kerry's dishonor has been well known for 40+ years now. Kerry was a sleezy coward who deliberately aidded the enemy during time of war. He deserved a fair trial and execution.

Stationed in Baumholder, Germany

Honor Graduate as Forward Observer (82C) from Fort Sill, OK

Received "Army Commendation Medal" working in S2, Military Intelligence

NOTE: This was for "Meritorious Service" and NOT Valor which would have been direct engagement with the enemy. Mine was for something I did while working in S2. I would never take credit for something I didn't do.

But that reminds me:

Remember when Right Wingers went after John Kerry for his medals? That invites similar scrutiny on the other side:

The media needs to demand the truth from Bush about his medals -- and about his still-unexplained grounding.

The right wing, so willing to dismiss charges against their own guys, so willing to smear someone innocent.

By the way, this is a pretty meaningless medal these days. The medal meant something back in the Nam years - for example - it was pretty significant. Today, you pretty much have to show up sober (most of the time) or successfully clean a latrine and you get one as a parting gift.

So piss off, poser.

I didn't serve - caught in the transition period in the early 70s between the draft and the volunteer military.

But my older brother did - signed up for the Army ROTC in college because he knew he was going to be drafted.

Decided to make the army a career, stayed for 20 years and retired a Lt Col. Set for life.

That's nice for your brother but the thread isn't titled did you have a brother who served retard. Stop making excuses, nobody stopped you from going to the recruiter's office if you really wanted to enlist you fuckin arm chair general.

Huh? What the fuck does that mean?

 

[ginscpy]

cant say it simpler than that........

In the early 70s - the draft went to a lottery-system.....

After a couple years - it was phased out altogether

During that period - there was a lot of uncertainty in young mens lives - if they would have to do service.

After the draft was phased out -that uncertainty vanished.

Its the usual excuse this coward ginscpy comes up with, he got his draft card but according to him the war was winding down and he did his part, plus you were "too skinny" at the time to enlist, isn't that you fuckin hack ginscpy?

You are a fuckin cowardly cock sucker, I am glad your ass didn't enlist, you would have gotten yourself and other kills or fucked up.

I know, dipshit. I enlisted in 1975 - during your so-called "Transition Period." All the recruiting offices seemed open to me...

Not sure what fucking problem you had signing a contract.

I asked this cock sucker the same questions, all he told me was the Vietnam war was winding down so he saw no need, and he already did his duty by picking up his draft card, than he goes on about he was too small, didn't weigh enough etc etc other bullshit excuses.
