No. Only real battle injury was slicing my hand open on a sharp rock. Probably could have gotten one if I pushed it, seen some extremely questionable PHs given out.
There's been a lot of medal creep. The AF recently awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross to a crew for delivering a baby during the Afghan evacuation. I have no problem at all with recognizing the people who were part of the evacuation, but this seems a bit much. My wife had more ribbons when she retired from the Navy as a nurse than my dad had when he retired from the AF as a fighter pilot who actually flew missions in combat. If you considered the Oak Leaves and clusters on the awards, he might have had a higher count, but it's getting nuts. Army uniforms look even worse - they appear to be covered in flair (think Office Space).

Uncle Sam is spending 6.27 Trillion this year.
Our daily spending is 17+ billion.
The "windfall" covers about 6 hours.
I wish we had the fortitude to publically execute politicians who created, sustained, and accelerated this malfeasance.
Watch: Biden WH Insults Our Intelligence With Latest Excuse on Why He Refuses to Visit the Border
I thought he had already visited the border..These cretins take the American public for fools with all their lies.
The US has been China’s piggy bank for too long, and I don’t see it changing. We just keep squealing like a pig for the ChiComms. We have become a hollowed out nation of grifters in power and wokesters calling the shots. A laughing stock.Funny thing is we get a lot of our solar panels from China. Pretty sure China also controls a good chunk of the worlds Lithium supply. What a damn joke.
