no offense taken, because it's true. And while it won't fool everyone but it'll fool enough and those wanting to be fooled*. Just want to mention Tim Walz's wiki only mentions 2 awards: ARCOM and 2x AAM and he's an E-8 24 years part-timer. The exercise of that writeup was to be vague without lying and let people draw their own conclusion.
*I talk to a massive TDS individual, civilian, and he defends Walz with damage control talking points which is worse and more flimsy then my writeup, while in the same breath bad mouths Vance for having an easy mos and deployment. People are dumb.
Right? Didn't even get a msm during his tour of italy in 2003. iirc rules changed in 2004 to make msm a buffer in combat zones so people stop giving out bronze stars like candy.
Guy in his position didn't have anyone bullshit a 638 for "exemplary leadership"? Must not been liked.
Bronze Stars at the time was really the circle jerk award not everyone gets it, a lot of people did, but the ones who did is usually in the clique and their boys.

Now I'm starting to think less on the "abandoned his men" narrative and more along the lines of "his men were better off without him".
Personally, I'll withhold judgement on that but if I were a betting man, something tells me he takes the modified PT test. And if he does, that tells me all I need to know about this senior nco.

Holy crap that's a piddling amount of chest candy for an E8.
I had more than that my first three years for crying out loud and that was before I ever did anything serious.

Yeah that's boggling. He's even missing quite a few gimme medals.
I didn't know that's all he had for being in for twenty four years.
He sounds like he's a piece of shit.
I remember Army Units that were handing out Bronze Stars for giggles. Nobody fucked around with Silver Stars though. That shit's way more serious.

Actually, that's rather alarming... Especially for the army.
Most people aren't thinking, they're only parsing info to justify their pre-existing attitudes & validate themselves.
