Politics and religion.

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.

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.

Bravery, Courage, & Dignity seem to have lost their meaning in other places of the world but in mine it is alive & well. The other day Christopher Opat came home in a coffin. The streets of his home town were lined with over 2000 people coming together to pay him honor. Our governor ordered our countrys flag to be flown at half mast that day. The representative sent by the military was in tears because he had never seen so many people turn out for a military funeral before. I heard a song played in memory of Christopher on our local country western station where at noon before the news the Star Spangled Banner is still played. Bravery, Courage, & Dignity are still alive in my part of the world. THANK GOD!

I think you forgot Humility.

I am sure that each and every service person would blush at all the attention they receive when they finally come home.
