41. All the differences in the world will mean spit
Edited on Thu Sep-20-07 05:26 PM by nadinbrzezinski
if a military court finds that the man commited fraud and takes him from O-9 to E-1 and takes him to Leavenworth

Which is the nature of the offense.

I know... you care for the politics of it, I care for the old fashioned not lying to get ahead and cheapen awards that soldiers care for, and many have died for. Been a troop, so has been my husband. Sorry, politics at this point, if the man got it fraudelently, don't matter.

In the end Kerry produced the citations... I want the citation from this fool, and I want to know WHO signed it

Fifty yards from a mortar strike does not deserve a Bronze Star with a V device

But it sure looks good before a promotion board...

By the way his fourth star was awarded in between testimonies

If you don't smell a rat I don't know what will it take.

By the by, this is not the time for promotion lists either
