Indeed it is. But is this still our country – is it still America? Or is it theirs?

He was a First Sergeant when he was medically retired in 1972. He served in both WWII and the Vietnam War. He was from the old Regular Army.

As to the proliferation of medals, look no further than pictures of Admirals and Generals from the WWII era. They may have had maybe 2 or 3 rows of ribbons. Contrast that to today where you see high ranking officers in the US military with enough rows of ribbons to make you think they were Field Marshalls in the Red Army. I checked Gen. Odierno and he has 9 rows fo ribbons

Churchill actually had plenty of military experience both as a soldier and as a civilian war correspondent.

After the embarrassment of Gallipoli Churchill rejoined the army and went to the Western Front. As essentially a nobleman Churchill was supposed to be in a headquarters but transferred to the front because he could get away with drinking there while he couldn’t touch a drop behind the lines.

Just contemptible. And nothing to do with defense of the nation.

Sadly nothing in politics functions to defend the nation–only the treasonous parasites hiding within it.

Case closed, the dude “manned up”.

Used to have pride in doing the manly stuff. But this is a travesty that people see and they think two things – they’re compelled by groupthink to have positivefeels for the woman, and it reinforces their view that the military is largely another bullshitty bureaucracy overridden by careerist shrikes, and it’s no longer about winning wars… ok, that’s 3 things, but you get the point.

Stalin was a Bolshevik thug who robbed banks. Churchill and Roosevelt were pampered aristocrats with little or no military experience and guaranteed seats of power who cynically played with the lives of their people, and those of other nations, as if they were mere chess pieces. Roosevelt was a pro-Communist traitor who headed an administration filled with Soviet spies and agents. He knew Pear Harbor would happen beforehand, and he and Churchill gave away half of Germany and all of eastern Europe to the Soviets, as well as sending anti-Soviet Russians and Ukrainians back to the USSR to die in Stalin’s dungeons. Exactly who were the cynical, cowardly and incompetent “leaders”? The ones who died for nothing were the Allied soldiers, Marines, airmen and sailors who defeated the Axis for governments who ultimately betrayed them in the name of this multiracial, globalist nightmare.
