Here’s my problem with military awards. These two guys got Bronze Stars for what they did, and officers get them for being in theater, along with their enlisted drivers. Seen it. A huge salute from myself to Lacz and Kyle and all who earned their awards.

Facts not everybody has integrity. Sad part is who you know can make or break your career. Seen it buddy's look out for buddy's. I never kissed anybody's ass. It's OK they can have that life. Live by the gun die by it. You play you pay.

Well, they dont chase after medals, the SEALs know what they did and what they did it for. And, its known that the Bronze star is not what it once was, more of a participation combat medal, easy to write up/get written up for it. It's not because of the officers status or enlisted drivers following them in combat and not being as courageous. SEALs have a far better relationship with their officers than say, Army, they let enlisted do their own thing and in the book, the newguy LTs let their chief lead who was on his 3rd deployment, and all talked to each other as guys nearly the same way except for orders and duties they need to give and be responsible for. They all go through BUD/s and SQT after all.

Not the case for Task Unit Bruiser(Task Unit = 32 people, two 16 man platoons - 13 enlisted SEALs, including a Chief who runs the platoon, 3 platoon officers including the OIC/Platoon Commander). Nearly all of them are highly decorated. All the enlisted guys including Chris Kyle have praised the officers. And the dynamic of the SEAL Teams are different than conventional units. Officers and enlisted have equal roles of shooters and operators, however enlisted guys are the backbone and officers have more administrative responsibility. Look at the actions the officers were decorated for. But of course you will keep on saying that they got it just for being in theater. Thats what you came here for. And who gives a shit anyway? They don't fight for medals. That is superficial. Their motivations are deeper. On that deployment, one platoon commander(O3) earned 2 Silver Stars, the other platoon commander earned a Silver Star, the task unit commander(O4), an enlisted man for 8 years, earned a silver and bronze star on previous deployments, and a quarter of the task unit earned a silver star(Chris Kyle, Jonny Kim, Michael Monsoor(Also MOH), JP Dinnell, Marc Lee), most of the task unit earning Bronze Stars and Navy and Marine Commendation Medals with Combat "V" as well.

Salvatore Tessio I was referring to lesser occupations not the SEAL community. Get it? When I say “Seen it.”, I wasn’t referring to myself being part of their community. I referred to my own realm of experience and stand by my statement. Regardless of your very obvious misunderstanding, thank you for the information. Dipstick.

He's been saying that long before Chris Kyle said he did. And its NOT A BIG DEAL. He punched him. Uh ok? Oh, the cruelty. Jesse Ventura may have been a hotshot but now he is disgraced in the SEAL Teams.👍👌

Let me explain. Straight from earth to heaven. Others had made it. But they had gone from earth to Venus and back. Or were current residents of heaven or templar, etc. She was the first person that came directly from earth to heaven since gods son crusifction. Earth is so risky, the guarantee to get back happens when you are a current resident of heaven. Then people come down to help as long as they can get home. Can't lose what you earned, the planet is very risky. Current residents of heaven will come down and live another life to try and help.

@@scruffy5119 actually can confirm this about both things... Ventura was sided against by Chris and the news sided with Chris over it but really it was all a lie and he was sued for defamation for putting the lies in his book.. Ventura won the case because he proved he wasn’t even there... proved it... news still went with Kyle obviously... dudes a fuckin hero and a liar... not that hard to see... yin and yang dude lots of cops are maniacs too... we need people to kill other people... we don’t necessarily care what mental stress does to them over time... they get recycled and murdered by other mentally ill brothers of theirs... crazy how reality is so much more interesting than fiction when you really study all history
