What's up with these Democrats lying about their awards/service in the Military?

So you think the United States Army lied?

Having served during the GWOT era and Operations Iraqi Freedom and Enduring Freedom eras, I can tell you that Bronze Stars were not "routinely" awarded at the end of service. Bronze stars are awarded for "heroism or meritorious service in a combat zone".

It's possible he did enough, and he was in Afghanistan as an O-3, but to get a Bronze Star, you need to do things above and beyond. That doesn't mean he wasn't nominated for a Bronze Star. It is also sometimes a numbers game. I know people who were nominated for various awards, but commands can only give out so many of certain awards - this is especially true for the more prestigious awards. It's entirely possible that Wes did enough to earn a Bronze Star, but it came down to a numbers thing, and there were other guys who did more or who were more deserving of the award. So, he got bumped. That happens a lot.

Depending on the role, someone would most likely get a Commendation like a JCOM or a JSAM medal. Meritorious Service Awards were also not uncommon for deployment. In looking at Moore's military awards, he did receive a Defense Service Medal.

Was only referencing the article that was originally posted. Though talking to marine buddies of mine, the bronze star has developed a kind of routine one given at end of combat service, and another that distinguishes “with valor”

Curious what another vet would know about it. But didn’t mean any disrespect by saying it was a routine award, it’s written within the article that’s the subject of the post.

Have the utmost respect for vets in general, and didn’t know that about ya.

It was a weird glitch, saw it on all the forums for the last post getting reposted as the persons comment. But seems like it’s fixed now

I figured I'd stick this here since it involves lying/cheating.
