This is 100% true. My first trip over in early 2002, we were constantly engaging HVT's and seeing action several times a week. Came back with a JCOM with a "V", and my TC recieved a Bronze Star. This stayed fairly consistent throughout the OEF campaign.

Fast forward to my last trip to Iraq 6 years later, Officers in the JOC were getting Bronze Stars for doing their job, and an Army CPT got a Purple Heart for a f(&&*(&(ing splinter...and no that's not a joke.
It happens, jarheads automatically get a Navy Achievement medal, it means nothing anymore. In my day 2 were authorized per command a year.
Look at any kid nowadays, after a 4 month med cruise he looks like the United nations.......... participation medals even if they didn't participate.

Hey! I got a Didn't Get Caught medal! That's gotta be worth something down at the VFW.

I certainly agree that the Bronze star should only be given for valor in combat.
I knew an AF nurse in Vietnam who had one. No "V" device...which is now a "C" for combat now, I think. I don't think she ever left Ton Son Nhut. Maybe she got it for fending off the brothers.

Yeah, they used to give those out pretty regularly, but there was a plain jane BS and one with the Valor device. Now it's like everyone is on Oprah. "You get a personal device! And you get a personal device! Look under your seats! Everybody gets a personal device!"

Nope...but when they cheat like hell, Kamala wins the Election, & JD Vance is the VERY FIRST ONE to endorse it and 90% of the Republicans fall in lockstep....THAT will rain our parade...

And we'll all take it....

Well, this is what, the 3rd time Brandon has had the 'rona? Despite the 4th or 5th booster.

It takes a toll, man. It takes a toll.
He must not have gotten the shot he forced people to get. I removed if you got the shot you wouldn’t get the wuhan flu

That is true. They were handed out like candy, at least in 2008 when I was there.
My friend told me he was with his protectee in the Green Zone when I truck loaded with explosives tried to penetrate the perimeter. They weren't near the location of the blast, but he got the award.

I don’t know if it’s done that.

It’s certainly now going to shift the Democrat voters obligations.

They love their firsts.

She’ll be the first “moronic black woman.”
