As someone who has never been in the military, I don’t feel qualified to comment negatively on anyone’s service. If someone is getting shot at, I don’t care if they are in a formal combat role or not, they are still out there protecting my ass and I won’t second guess them.
But those that have served understand that distinction, though, and I’ll have to defer to them to understand how cringy it all is.
Wearing medals or badges you didn’t earn is super cringy, and you’re basically just shitting on everyone who actually did earn them. I’m not trying to take away this guys service, but as an actual recipient of a CIB, I feel like his lying is a direct slap in the face.
