If I find out a person lied about medals or his/her service, I realize that person has no honor and treat them as such. <br /><br />Most of the ribbons I got were because I was in the right place and the right time. Nothing special, nothing glorious, just doing the job (sitting in a chair, twisting a screwdriver, listening to hours and hours of static on comms, eating real bad food, and reading the same comics over and over again, etc) If this were a lie, I need to work on it a little more.<br /><br />P.S. an afterthought... Lying to me doesn't include sea stories. Telling tall tales about life on the sea is a time honored tradition for sailors. Saying that I met King Neptune is one thing but telling people I have a Bronze Star is beyond the pale.David Aquariushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06357819163784758615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7530739.post-59001671326991986312012-06-28T15:11:52.112-04:002012-06-28T15:11:52.112-04:00I know they did.

Sometimes I hate it when people do the right thing even though I know it was the right thing.<br /><br />If you're in a bar lying about your service and a <i>real</i> vet catches you, you're gonna get your ass kicked and that's the end of it. If you gain office by lying about your service and get caught, you're still in office and nothing happens and you can thumb your nose at everyone who voted for you. The pols all do that anyway, but it ain't right.Gordonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05772126106416366135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7530739.post-79180590298970854962012-06-28T14:18:41.981-04:002012-06-28T14:18:41.981-04:00And yes, they did the right thing.And yes, they did the right thing.Fixerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09672137568947891733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7530739.post-1489092452379054522012-06-28T14:18:24.618-04:002012-06-28T14:18:24.618-04:00I don't have a problem with some idiot dressin...I don't have a problem with some idiot dressing up and playing army. The fact they're an idiot and liar should be obvious to those who've really been there soon enough. I got a problem with those who make up a good story and try to pass themselves off as something they're not in order to make money or gain power from it.Fixerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09672137568947891733noreply@blogger.com
