What a great day for the VP.

Not only is it great to have a President that actually acts and looks like a Commander in Chief, we also have a Vice President that lets us forget about that drunk clown Kamala.

Go JD……Winning!

How was his eyeliner? He should spend a night in the barracks sometime without cameras around.

Those Marines were sure cheering for him.

One of their own.

Contrast this with anything done by any Democratic president or vice president since Harry Truman.

The best that Obama could do wsa a lame basketball shoot-around at a gym somewhere in The Green Zone. Biden looked st his watch. Clinton "loathed" them and so on.

He never fought for our country.

Probably spent more energy fighting for a place in line at the Maybelline counter at Penneys when eyeliner goes on sale than he has defending our democracy.

It should be noted that most American service men and women have not "fought" for the USA. That combat infantrymen's badge* is sought afyter by our warfighters, but few have had the chance to earn it . . .even at the height of the "Global War on Terror".


*That is what the Army calls it. The Marines, Navy and Airforce have some badge of recognition for their warfighters who have actually been in combat.

Just because one in my age group served in Vietnam did not make one eligible to wear The CIB.
Even though I had my lower legs maimed by a trip wire directional, I was not eligible for the CIB. Purple Heart, yes.

Back in the ‘60’s, the Army was particular about that. My MOS as not 11B, I was in Commo. I just happened to be the one that hit the trip wire while out repairing Ground Plain Antennas. If it had not been for that, I would have just been another member of support personnel.

There were 11B’s who did the entire 12 month tour and never actually saw the flash of an enemy rifle but never the less wear the CIB.

did you?


by your standard most of the senior officer core of the Army/Navy/Marines/Air Force are unqualified to lead because they didn't serve in combat.


anyone who severed in the military, like me in the Navy ... and you among other valued posters .. and JD Vance ...


SERVED OUR COUNTRY.

[Yssup Rider]

Like Vance, I severed but didn't fight, as you said.

We had lots of DEI servicemen BTW, even back during "nom."

then you admit criticizing Vance for not being in actual combat is false



thanks for clearing that up

CAB = CIB for non SOF or 11 series MOSs. Me and a couple other apes were awarded the CAB as a 15u for a dust up trying to get a bird flying again after a forced landing. Lucky for us the passengers were 1/75 rangers, best babysitters ever.

As for Vance, he made it through The Crucible. Good enough to get my respect, regardless of his mos.
