Combat metals? I suppose he means campaign metals. If he had a CIB we would have said so. Weapons metals, no ducking clue. Marksmanship badge is the only thing I can think of, but the navy, I think, gives away a metal for shooting.

So our TiT wanna be was born in 1959. Yet he walked picket lines in the 60's with his grandpa? Feasible, but highly unlikely. 18 years old would make it 1977, the only chance for military service would be Grenada or Lebanon in the 80's. He'd be 31 for Gulf War I. 41 for Gulf War II. No war experiences that were "seared" into his memory, or we would have heard of him single handedly take Saddam and the Republican Guard out with a swiss army knife. I smell :bs:

You left out Panama and HAti but hey the guys a loser. I was in during the same time as he claims and I call BS.

I was awarded two combat medals and two weapons medals.

Grenade. (Everybody made expert in grenade)

Bolo badge for rifle platform.

I've noticed something about the *cough-cough* vets at DU. There have always been more support personnel than combat troops in any conflict. The ratio for support echelon (REMPS) to combat troops is about 3 to 1 and yet all DU vets are combat vets.

Humm!!!

Come to think of it, unions do create jobs. Companies have to hire two workers to do the work of one.

That's how I took it as well.  When I entered Navy service, we were the one of the last last groups to receive the National Defense Ribbon.  Since he is younger than me, I can't imagine what "medal" he might be referring to.  And as to weapons medals, they could only be his marksmanship badges for maybe pistol, rifle, and grenade.  What a wanker.



Everyone on active duty and drilling Reservists during Gulf 1, and all active duty and mobilized Reservists since 9-11 have gotten it.

Okay.  I was out in the mid 70's and didn't think they were giving that out after about 1974.
