 cptenaud says: Guys like Chuck Norris are more despised by the troops than any other type of person. It's because posers like Norris try to claim something they haven't earned. He attempts to browbeat others into believing that they don't "understand" combat the way he does, because he's "been there." He thinks he speaks for the troops. But Norris has never "been there," and he will never go there. Already 9 comments from real soldiers. I think you should see them. Clowns Like This........... (4.00 / 2) Remind me of the Higher Ranking Officers, most in the Pacific regions, who weren't serving In-Country 'Nam, but they would come in and visit, or at least that's what they called it.
Norris' "tours" are no different than any other VIP (4.00 / 3) Norris can claim that he served two "tours" in Iraq all he wants but most everyone with any common sense knows otherwise. The U.S. military and other agencies would have provided detailed security rings prior to Norris' arrival and would have left them in place around him until well after he left Iraq. Norris, as a celebrity is a high value target so the military would have taken no chances with his security. Norris saw nothing and did not experience any like the troops experience on a day to day basis during his short stay and that you can count on. In fact, the troops and/or Iraqis he did meet with were likely cleared wel... Send him a medal (0.00 / 0) Someone should go to clothing sales, buy one of the service medals applicable for Iraq, send it to him and I guarantee he would be proud of it and display it at his office!! by: Colonel "Joe" USAR @ Thu Sep 11 No shame in admitting the truth (0.00 / 0) Sadly, the political right believes that it is shameful to admit when the Army has problems. They consider it a weakness to talk about cannibalizing other units for equipment and so on and so on. by: Colonel "Joe" USAR @ Thu Sep 11 USO? (0.00 / 0) USO tours=Combat Experience? by: Brian McGough @ Thu Sep 11 I think our generals look ridiculous with all their service medals. Some of them, like the Iraqi Campaign with FMF Operations any member of the U.S. military gets who has performed duty within the borders of Iraq (or its territorial waters) for a period of thirty consecutive days or sixty non-consecutive days. I used to think medals were for doing something special. Or that people were called a "hero," for doing something special. But apparently this is just another corruption of the language of war that is used today....you know, like "peacekeepers," and terms like that. The Congressional Medal of Honor was given to the Generals who gave the order to murder women and children and unarmed men at Wounded Knee. I see know honor in this medal when it is abused. |
