Politics and religion.

All the "hardware" that the Gen wears is well earned.

He is not a Third World AH toy soldier that issues himself citations and medals.

At the least? He should be shown respect for his 'fruit salad' and hardware- each and every little pin/flag represents a story about what he has done to make the grade during his career.

How amusing.

At the least

.

When you show President Obama the respect -

at the least

- he deserves for having been elected by a majority of the voters of the United States of America you will have the right to suggest what...

at the least

- anyone else deserves.

Try comparing the medals earned by...say Eisenhower - to the number of medals McC and other army guys wear today. Not far at all from the

Third World AH toy soldier that issues himself citations and medals

Today they earn a medal for not soiling their pants it seems.

At the least indeed.

Take the insults elsewhere, ES.

Yep, I have four rows of awards for not soiling my pants.

What ignorant rubbish.

Just relax there LH.

Her idea of remembering our soldiers is by reading their obituaries every sunday, after all its the least she can do.

Don't feed the trolls dude.

Example: From his official pic I see a MSM w/ 2 bronze clusters. A Bronze Star w/ v device. A Master Parachutist badge. And most of all... A Ranger tab.

So, ignorant rubbish indeed. Sunlight is the best disenfectant, eh?

If you stare into the sun, it works faster?

Those piles of ribbons weren't worn by Ike because a) they didn't exist at the time, and b) the uniform regs were somewhat different.

Now, it's nearly a requirement to wear every award you've been given. Then, they were for the most part optional.

Go ahead, show up for a greens inspection not wearing an award your CSM knows you have.

Also, Ike, for all his prowess as an organizer, wasn't a particular standout until his skills came to the fore during the planning to take back Europe. He was largely a political General.

Patton, on the other hand....



Yeah, he had a lot of awards for not soiling his pants as well.

I would have like to have seen him walk thru a doorway and not get his sashes hooked on a doorknob?

He would have kicked that door's arse.

But, Chuck Norris would have knocked the whole house down.

Respect is a "goes around, comes around" thing.

People who do not think being the President of the United States - elected by a majority - deserves respect should not be surprised by disrepect.

If you think it is okay to disrepect the position of those you don't like it gives permission for others to express disrepect as well.

[Lady's Human]

And this from the woman who is so concerned about the troops she spend Sunday morning reading obits.

Because you have an issue with someone it's okay to disrespect millions upon millions of servicemembers?

Here's a buck.



Go buy yourself a clue.
