Whenever these local Sheriffs appear

[kairos12]

on camera they have more ribbons and stars on than Eisenhower displayed at the end of WWII.

1. Yeah, I always get a chuckle...

seeing these Yosemite Sam looking sheriffs of counties with about 10K people and the jackass has a five star pin on his collar like a WW2 general and a chest full of ribbons.

4. The Legion of

Chick-fil-A 1st Class.

2. They're proud of their trophies. nt

3. Yep

6. Dammit, Dalton!!!!!!

Just after I hit 'Post My Reply' about that guy and his 'decorations' - you come up with THAT one!

9. What a jackass. And is that a real photo or are some of those photoshopped?

He's a jackass nonetheless though.

16. Mockery

Here's a real photo of David Clarke:

17. That's more realistic. He's still a jackass though.

21. In San Antonio, we have Fiesta Medals...I see a potential resale market......

5. Brings to mind David Clarke......

Trump's 'black' sheriff (as opposed to 'Sheriff Joe!') who caught some 'questions' regarding his chest full of 'ornaments' when he spoke at IQ45's convention in 2016:

7. That Michigan guy was decorated like a Christmas tree.

And I was thinking the same thing as you.

8. My thoughts exactly

Said something similar to my wife when I saw him, adding, "All that is missing is a oversized white cowboy hat."

10. My brother did a ysar

of hard combat with the 101 Airborne in the A Shau Valley in Vietnam-his chest would pale when comped to guys who spent several months in the middle east and were shot at once.

[GP6971]

11. So are you knocking

the sacrifices made by our troops in the Iraq and Afghanistan theatres?

[flotsam3]

18. Perhaps

But he made nearly 50 combat assaults by helicopter into hot landing zones and spent over 3 weeks at times in the bush-from what I've read even rock and rollers in the places you mentioned returned to FOBs at night...

[GP6971]

20. Sorry you feel that way.

And they didn't return to their FOBs every night. Combat is different in any scenario. To say that Vietnam vets are superior to Iraq and Afghanistan vets is just wrong.

I'm guessing you're not a combat vet or even a veteran. So be it.

15. My nephew did several years on submarines. Of course he qualified and got his dolphins.

My nephew did several years on submarines. Of course he qualified and got his dolphins. They don't mess around with qualifying... If you don't qualify, you WILL qualify. After getting out he joined the Army reserve for a couple of years. He wasn't sure about wearing his dolphins because you don't see many Army guys with them. Then he finally saw a sergeant with dolphins. If you earned it, you wear it.

[Mr.Bill]

12. It's a thing now.

Some Police organizations are allowing their officers to wear their military decorations on their uniforms. I've never been a cop or a soldier, but this seems wrong on both a military and law enforcement persperctive. If they demonstrate exemplary qualifications or performance let the Police issue their own ribbons forn that. Military ribbons only belong on military uniforms.

My .02 worth.

14. Medals

[RockRaven]

13. How fragile is your ego that winning an election isn't enough; you need special baubles on

your clothes to feel sufficiently important? Fucking losers!

19. Sheriff fake medals in Milwaukee started that trend. (David Clarke)
