Jd vance What is JD Vance's military record?
Vance served in the Marine Corps for four years, from 2003-2007, and was a public affairs officer during a six-month stint in Iraq but never saw combat


According to a USA TODAY fact-check article, Vance received six awards while serving, including:

Marine Corps Good Conduct Medal
Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medal
Iraq Campaign Medal
Sea Service Deployment Ribbon
Global War on Terrorism
National Defense Service Medal

Never saw combat
Participation ribbons

This kinda marine makes me sick.
Strategically ducking real marine duties but claiming accolades of being a marine.
Shit I still find middle east sand on my person. Shot twice. Laid out in cover protecting defense batteries while snakes crawled over me.
Did extra tours but served my full time.
Vance is a poser. So proud he stayed in the back where he belonged!

So, anyone not directly involved in wartime combat doesn't get any credit/respect for serving?

One poster claimed the Marines wildly cheered Vance since he was “one of their own.”

Horse shit.

Real Marines know better than to follow a couch fucker.

That “one Poster” was me.

It seems all of those Marines present disagree with your assessment..

I have two friends from my younger years who were drafted at the same time I was. They were not sent to Vietnam. Both are deceased

I still consider their service as honorable as mine.

Thank you for your service Jacky. I’m in the same boat.

But “it seems” doesn’t cut it. Vance is a poseur.

Not the ones like vance.
He feels entitled cause he served.
Uses his time in the service for limelight.

Public affairs officer-
Spreading propoganda back then.
He participated that's all.
It's a miracle he didn't receive a purple heart from a paper cut while in Iraq.
