You may recall that the Bellevue Big Guy (who is dying) recently posted photos of himself at a costume party with some obscure bit actors, wearing an Army uniform (several sizes too small) decorated with a Combat Infantry Badge. He treated it as costume jewelry.
Of course, the Big Guy is a veteran only in that he lost the Battle of the Bulge when his waist size passed 48".
Now he tries, unsuccessfully, to slander a true combat veteran for the sole reason that she is a Republican:

10. Or how about Senator Kerry
I would love to find the pictures of Republicans wearing their little Purple Heart Bandaids showing how much they respect our men in uniform..
Kerry was a combat veteran, but one who injured himself intentionally in order to avoid service.
He deserves recognition as a veteran, and contempt for his actions.

17. Actually, she is a combat veteran as that term has been defined by the military
I have no use for Ernst whatsoever. But making an issue of whether she was a combat veteran, when the military clearly defines her status as such is a loser's game.
The Big Guy gets almost no support from his fellow lunatics in his attacks on Sen. Ernst's combat veteran status.

24. Kuwait was a designated combat zone during Op. Iraqi Freedom,
ergo, she was in a combat zone and is designated as a combat veteran.

31. Total combat veteran
This is embarrassing and we will lose on this. She has so many things to criticize her with. This is totally not one of them!
So the dying Big Guy, who wore a Combat Infantry Badge to a costume party like it's just another piece of bling, cheap costume jewelry, challenges a honest to god combat veteran.

Yeah, go back to attacking her for being poor and wearing plastic bags over her shoes to keep them clean and dry.

Tell us, Steve, what've you ever done that at least matches your father's sacrifices and accomplishments in life?

Well, he told us about knocking up a girl in high school.
That should count for something.

The primitives can't seem to come to a consensus on whether or not Ernst is a combat veteran.
These are the same lowlifes that thought that Bowie Bergdahl served with honor and distinction.

Tell me again Joni what you did?
1) She won an election. That's something YOU could not do.
2) She volunteered for the military, something YOU never did, Steve.
3) She is a combat vet and YOU are not...despite the fake badges you wear on your TV show conventions.
4) She never was a goldbricking union member trying to ride on the disability band wagon.
Joni never shirked off her share of work...unlike you.
Joni is a sold upstanding woman of character. You are Hollow inside.

Someone who is dying should not be all that bitter and political.

Exactly. I can't believe he is allowing himself to look like a loser idiot (who is dying).

Wow! I didn't realize email capability and cell phones warded off IED blast & shrapnel, RPGs, and AK47 rounds! Cool!
Let me calculate for a moment ... the US entered WW2 on December 8, 1941 ... Germany surrendered May 8, 1945 ... Japan surrendered August 14th, 1945 (the 15th west of the International Dateline) ......... I need help! I can't even get that to add up to 4 years!
Worse still, the USN rotated ships home for repairs and rebuilds - planned and unplanned - during the war, including submarines and crews, and did the same with carrier air groups. I suspect the Marines, USA, and USAAC did similarly. After the War deployments were probably on the order of a couple of years, so
I'll give OS this much. The US usually provides more "amenities" (if such a word can be applicable in a combat zone) to its military personnel than is common among other nations. Thing is, that was true back in WW2, and the Germans and Japanese (not those facing them, of course!) thought US soldiers, Marines, airmen, and sailors soft because of it.
Being a technoid life-form, my brain wandered back again to Math. Suppose, for the sake of discussion, OS's father served in WW2, was deployed in early 1942, and OS actually remembers a 5-year paternal absence. That would mean OS was born around 1937 (1942 - 5 = 1937). Those numbers would make OS about 77YO. Is he really that age?
From his snark about email and phones to the 5-year deployment claim to the age he would have to be for the claim to have a chronological possibility this post has :bouncy: scrawled all over it. OS sure has contempt for his DU audience's ignorance of history and things military.

:thatsright:
SHUT THE **** UP, FAT ASS! A CIB is for INFANTRY. Steve, you are such a f'n moron. What you know about the military, what ANY of you clowns know about the military, could fit in a thimble with room left to spare. If any of you f'n clowns were to look at all the wounded and KIA in OIF/OEF MANY would have MOS's other than 11 CMF.
You're only making yourself look stupid-er. If that's even possible. Hurry up and die.

5. Then my father....the USCG Veteran who served during that war....was a "combat vet"
As a "BRAT" even I know he wasn't and neither was she! She can be a member of the VFW (and my father couldn't)....but combat? Nope...
Then either you're lying or your father is lying. If your father was in the USCG patrolling the Persian Gulf, he is eligible for VFW membership. You clowns make this shit to easy.
VanillaRhapsody (16,067 posts)
27. No he was only a supply ship...he is NOT a combat Veteran and NOT eligible for VFW
he IS American Legion.
He was Coast Guard...a Lifer.
It doesn't matter if he was the cook on the ship or cleaning the shitters. If he was anywhere in theater, he is considered a combat vet. Why? Because people with any Damn sense know it takes a helluva lot more than just infantry guys to win a ****ing war. That sense part kinda leaves you idiots out.

You know, one of TiT's medals was for throwing himself onto an unexploded German fraulein.
That episode alone made him stevenumbers's idol.

Coast Guard doesn't have "supply ships", DUmbass. So he was neither in theater, nor in the Coast Guard, you lying ****.
