ROS sent us this link, and I read the article yesterday, but I was hesitant to comment, because anything I might say can be construed as ungrateful and disrespectful. But anyway, Michelle Obama interviewed with Stars & Stripes;
“Still most Americans don’t have a connection to the military community,” she said during an interview with Stars and Stripes on Tuesday. “This is a group of individuals who give so much and don’t want to fall into the shadows. They want to know they live in a country that cares about what they do.”
So her solution is to ask Americans to volunteer to express “broader support from the entire country is needed to reach out to military families and offer them the respect they deserve”. My first reaction is not meant to be ungrateful, but, if you haven’t been moved to do these things in the last ten years, the troops really don’t need someone who wants to mouth the words and go through the motions because Michelle Obama told you to.
Even IVAW complained that Americans were generally ignoring the troops and the war. It’s pretty much too late to pretend you care because it’s the next popular thing to do with your “Organizing for America” friends.
When the wars began, I took donated pogie bait to the guys at Walter Reed, brought wives to my apartment so they could cook homemade meals for their husbands, smuggled them beer, contacted their representatives in Congress – before there was a better-organized effort by the new organizations which have sprung up. When they started doing a better job than I was doing, I got out of the way.
And that’s the best thing that these newly converted supporters of the troops can do – send your money, but stay out of the way. Or enlist.
But I have.
Five Westpacs–same is same.
Is this coming from the same dumb bitch who said she never did shit and couldn’t handle a weapon?
Go back to your inflatable Obama, OG.
Obumbler 2012:
In an effort to be able to adequately communicate with you, (but not really necessary for my benefit), I will use some good, old-fashioned liberalese. I will overlook the message and go right to the word usage. “you’re” translates to “You Are”, young woman. You used it in place of “your” in you very adolescent name calling in your #45. I am not a muslim so what you say will not have an effect on my daily life. It will, however, have an effect on how others here see you, further reinforcing their assumption of your blind, naive, self. Have at it, little girl.
@Sporkmaster when were you in Iraq big guy? How the hell did a medic get a CAB instead of a CFMB? I got the reason for you, because you didn’t do shit!! They gave you a CAB because they got tired of you whining for 3 years, go climb down that shithole you crawled out of, until you get a CIB you can kiss my ass.
@NHSparky do you count westpacs by the number of guys you railed below deck? You’re a god damn joke.
@ROS are you the guy who tries to play himself off as the RI down in Jungle phase? You’re probably some PAC clerk in Eglin you really need to shut your mouth pal I got some buddies down there that will crush your nuts.
Tellis or ObamaGirl, I don’t know which because you both have the same IP address originating in Westfield, NJ, ROS is not a guy, nor has she ever claimed to be a Ranger. But, I’m betting she’d kick your sissy ass like a Ranger.
@Southern Class I don’t know your story but I am sure you’re a jerk
Tellis,
How many CIB do you have? Besides the one you bought at Ranger Joe’s to impress the ladies?
You’re prolly just another clerk-typist who spent his tour at MNF-I as a coffee gremlin.
Tellis: You claim some buddies down here around Eglin? Are they of as low a stature as you? Do they also just shoot off their mouthes with no knowledge of the topic? Do they also troll the mil-blog sites?
Yer a joke.
No worries, Jonn. The little trolls have nothing better to do than try to throw spitballs at their betters, until they get the proverbial (or literal) fucking beatdown.
Perhaps, Jonn, this “Tellis” excrement is the boyfriend that Obumbler 2012 threatened to tell about what ROS said several days ago.Either way, they are two very adolescent minded liberal douCHEs.
Jonn beat too it. Would not be surprised if this is Richter from a few months ago when we caught him pretending to be a SSG and pretended to have a CIB. Also he always referred to the CMB as the CFMB which stands out because few if any people call it that.
Wait a freakin’ minute…
Jonn – did you type New Jersey?
ObamaGirl2012 claimed she was Louisiana Guard.
So, my timeline is a little flakey. Is she still Louisiana Guard, or going to school in Westfield, NJ (home to Charles Addams, of Addams Family fame I believe)? Or going to school in NYC or ?
Lots of disconnects here. Tellis could be the absentee boyfriend who was commenting through ObamaGirl2012 in her debut posts.
Synapse lapse repaired.
Jonn did type NJ, or I wouldn’t have read it.
Please carry on, I’ll be trying to discern the President’s budget proposal in the meanwhile.
I actually have heard ROS say that Lilyea, once again you guys are outed as phonies. You need to spend less time blogging and more time at the fucking gym
DaveO,
I doubt she’s LARNG–I’ve already impregnated/indoctrinated all of their females.
Hey Sporkmaster if you were ever a Field Medic you would know what I am talking about, too bad you spent all your time chilling out in the rear filling out bullshit paperwork for your bullshit CAB
Oh look who’s back!
Tellis the Supply Sloth! One can tell he’s a 92-Yankee cuz he’s got no Southern Class.
Between Tellis and Obumbler 2012, they have the IQ of a Retarded goat.
And, no Tellis, you nor anyone else has ever heard ROS claim anything that she is not.
Get off mommy’s computer and get back in your playpen.
DaveO you were an officer right?
The only badge that is reffed to like that is the EFMB, the Combat Medical Badge is referred to as the CMB. Do you see a F or Field in there?
Oh and this is right out of AR 600-8-22.
Also since you have failed to understand a medic has to be actively supporting a combat arms unit to even qualify to receive it. The reason that I got a CAB was because I was with a ENGINEER (AKA not Infantry) unit and no one was injured in any of hostile actions I was a part in.
Oh and I quote.
Over the years, there has been some confusion concerning the phrase “…in direct support of an infantry unit…”. The CMB is intended for, and awarded to, those medical personnel who accompany the infantryman into combat. The Army has never approved of deviations from this purpose and its restrictive criteria. During the World War II era, medical support for infantry units in combat was provided by the medical detachments and companies of battalions and regiments. These medical personnel and units were termed direct support. This concept lasted until Vietnam. Today, medical personnel are assigned as organic personnel to infantry companies and are regarded as participants as opposed to being categorized as those providing direct medical support. For example, medical personnel serving in division level medical companies, ground ambulance and medical clearing companies, mobile-Army surgical hospital (MASH), combat-support hospital (CSH), field hospitals, and aero-medical evacuation units are not eligible for the CMB. The sole criteria that qualifies medical personnel for award of the CMB is to be assigned or attached to an infantry unit
engaged in active ground combat. Medical personnel other than those medics organic to infantry units may qualify only if they serve as medical personnel accompanying infantrymen. Conceivably, this could occur if an infantry unit lost all its medics and as a temporary or permanent measure medical personnel were attached to an infantry unit, but remained assigned to a hospital or other non-infantry unit.
Again.
(4) Soldier must be assigned or attached to a unit that would qualify the Soldier for the CIB/CMB. For example, an
11B assigned to Corps staff is eligible for award of the CAB. However, an 11B assigned to an infantry battalion is not
eligible for award of the CAB.
Tellis, you are one nasty little sliver of peckerwood aren’t you?
Dave–I wouldn’t even give him that much credit. Haters gonna hate, as they say. Poor boy got a terminal case of the butt-hurts.
A village bridge somewhere is missing its troll.
Your lies continue to amass, dear.
Please, continue. I’m more than willing to sort this out over tea and cucumber sandwiches, should you choose to do so.
Name the time and place
Spork,
I’m think the CMB like the CIB must be at brigade level or below mtoe infantry organization. I’m trying to remember whether the medics our cav squadron got CABs or CMBs… must be getting old.
On another subject its always fun to watch the trolls eat their own. In my book, anyone who signs on the bottom line, deploys, and gives 100% is alright in my book. I used to be into that branch parochialism (a CAV dick to be specific), but then I “growed up” and saw what everyone brings to the fight.
There was a lot of “patch envy” in the early 90s due to the limited number of troops getting shot at in Grenada, Panama, Desert Storm, and Somalia. I’m thinking right about now that our troops on their third or fourth tour with zero dwell time aren’t having any issues ’bout “stinking badges”.
@#77- Sugar, I’ve lived 2 blocks south of Hell for nigh a decade, and whenever you feel like showing up, bless your little heart.
#78 LTC Tim,
My understanding is that the CMB is awarded when one is in the geographical area – since CASH and such are considered divisional/corps/JTF forward assets.
Personally, I enjoy the parochial jokes because some of them are funny. That’s away from work, away from the field of battle where that parochial BS has enabled the killing of more than a few soldiers and marines. CIB, CAB, CMB, CAR, it’s all of piece.
Patch envy sprouted from former CSA General Vuono who imposed a strict hierarchy for officer promotions and billets: combat outweighed non-combat. Dude could be the biggest screw-up in the history of Army, but if he wore a combat patch he was going on to the next rank, and be in line for a command billet. Force XXI was a return to the Shy Meyer philosphy, but 911 and the Army’s ability to screw up a wet dream forced a good balance. With the new CSA managing the inevitable draw-down, it will suck to be field grade and have zero combat patches.
leave tellis alone
I’d tell Obamagirl not to worry about what you fucksticks are saying about her boyfriend but I’m pretty sure that the person currently using her handle is none other than that 300 pound piece of shit extraordinaire, Jonn Lilyea. What’s next player, Joe? Maybe myself? Nah, you should stick to imitating the ladies, it’s more in line with your actual, histrionic bitch personality.
But you know what amazes me the most about you? The way you can run your mouth about the stupidest little things while simultaneously stuffing it with the Colonel’s Crispy Strips and Old Trooper’s flaccid dong.
Houser–you get your paperwork together yet? Come on, “Sarge”, I’m still waiting to see how that one’s gonna work out.
Oh, and Tellis–Cherry Hill, right? How about you borrow mommy’s car, drive across the bridge into Philly, that way I can curbstomp your worthless ass, then have a cheesesteak over at Geno’s? I think you might be better off coming over the Ben Franklin Bridge then come down the Delaware Expressway over to Washington Avenue.
Houser- your language alone shows just how insignificant you really are. Your parents must be terribly disappointed in the results of their coupling.
Hoser(not mis-spelled), you are beyond troll, and your lack of self-esteem jump from the pages with your stupid, profane responses.
Tiresome? I would agree that a dipstick like you find me tiresome, in this application, an attribute. Mentally deficient? I would put my mental acumen up against yours at any time. For someone so against all we are about here, it would seem that you might have some other thing to interest you, but apparently not. So lacking in anything substantial as to have time to spend here.
Your parents must be terribly disappointed in the results of their coupling.Your parents must be terribly disappointed in the results of their coupling.
“HOUSER Says:
April 16th, 2011 at 2:45 pm
Quite frankly, I find you to be tiresome and mentally deficient. Please do not address me again, your stupidity is contagious.”
Please go back and correct your posts’ grammatical errors before calling someone else mentally deficient.
Jeesus H *****; I have nothing to do with this thread. I haven’t commented on it. I haven’t commented on anything for days. Yet, here we are with doogie houser running his cockholster about me. What the fuck is your major malfunction, numbnuts? It’s funny that you go off on a tangent about threats and whatnot now, but you didn’t say a damn thing when asshpincter was threatening me. Why not? Are you that biased against those people here? You know what that makes you? A mealy mouthed no-load, pus-nutted, hypocrite.
The way you and assphincter interject me in threads; I’m wondering if you 2 don’t have some homo-erotic feelings for me? Sorry to disappoint you 2, but I like girls.
OT–Yeah, I’m shaking too. The FBI is pounding on the door now, gotta run guys.
Houser, you’re a worthless fuckstick. Go die in a fire already. And if that’s all that it takes for me to go to jail these days, fuck it.
And while you’re at it, tell the FBI I told you TITS OR GTFO.
Let’s hear how hard they’ll be laughing before they hang up on ya.
That’s funny Pooper, I don’t see you cautioning AssPark about making threats either. I guess that means we’re both just mealy mouthed no-load, pus-nutted, hypocrites. You’re even worse though, because NH actually threatened direct physical harm, while Richter was a vaguer, bring a helmet.
Frankie, you look like a second rate Terry Jones, and you’re dumber to boot. I guess before your father’s nutsack just gave up and starting shooting blanks, it was loaded with nothing but duds.
ROS, I didn’t like you when I thought you were a needle-dicked, gasbag dude, but now I see you’re just a chick with some serious penis envy.
Hoser, keep ’em coming, you are doing a fine job of sewing up what we see you as. And we didn’t have to invent any of it. Like Obumbler, you say enough yourself to show how useless you really are.
Your parents must be terribly disappointed in the results of their coupling.Your parents must be terribly disappointed in the results of their coupling.Your parents must be terribly disappointed in the results of their coupling.
Actually, douchenozzle, what I said is if he came to me, he could be curbstomped. Nowhere did I say I would pursue it or actively undertake it. Think of it as a “No Trespassing” sign on your lawn. If someone does, is that considered a threat, and could I be arrested for it? Nowhere did I say I’d come after anyone; ergo, no direct threat of violence, ergo no crime.
Kind of like one of those, if you ever come near me, you’ll regret it kind of statements. Is that a threat too?
Grow a thicker skin, shitstain. After you go play in traffic, of course. Mommy would be disappointed if you didn’t burn off all those extra calories you’ve consumed from sitting on your ass eating Cheetos and playing X-Box all day.
My feeling has never been so hurt.
And you’re projecting again.
Actually, doogie, richter (assphincter) told me to bring kevlar, not a helmet, so I guess that was more of a direct threat than was made to you. However, as I had stated, and you so carefully ignored, I hadn’t been on this thread prior to today so it was rather difficult for me to comment on what was said to you. I did manage to see that you brought my name into another conversation that I was not part of and hadn’t even commented on. So, like a good little leftist piece of shit, you ignored my question as to why you hadn’t said anything when richter threatened me and did the old commie re-direct and attempted to attack me, once again. It won’t work you fucking moron, because with your intellect hovering just above that of a cold shit sammich, you can’t even manage to tie your own shoes, let alone carry on a conversation worthy of response. You are like a noisy bird that comes in, squawks a lot, shits all over the place and then leaves without contributing anything other than stink and bird shit.
Can’t we all get along yo?
Actually he told you to “bring a kevlar”. Now if you weren’t an out of touch old fart you’d know that today’s grunts use the term kevlar along with k-pot to refer to their helmets. If he was talking about body armor, he would have said Interceptor, IBA, Body Armor, or if he wanted to be slightly old school and to refer to the vests issued prior to the IBA, he would just say flak vest. But any decent ground-pounder knows that the flak vest isn’t good for much. If he was a Bradley crew member, he might have cautioned you to bring your chicken vest, but that’s even more worthless than the flak.
But he didn’t say any of those things. He said “a kevlar”, a singular noun, not an adjective. I can see how this might be confusing to a doddering old fuck like yourself, but please try to explain to me how telling someone to bring a helmet is a more direct threat than a “curbstomping”.
I want Obama to drop Biden this time, and have Al Sharpton as his running mate. OH YES WE CAN!!
You call the FBI yet, fuckstick?
Oh wow sparky threats of bodily harm against people now? I would expect to being hearing from our attorneys soon.
Wow, how clever, Hoser mis-spelled his name, or camoflaged it, to fool everyone.
Jonn, you really need to do something, this place needs a much better class of trolls than Hoser and OG. WE really should stop feeding the ones we have, maybe they’ll slink back to DU.
For the record I am moderating some of their comments. Like the fake ObamaGirl2012 who seems to be nothing more than a racist twit. Houser is moderated now. When they want to take part in a debate instead of pointless dick measuring, I might reconsider.
I don’t believe ObamaGirl ever committed any crime greater than disagreement. You just like to stifle dissent.
