    It only means you have some medals. I don't know a veteran that doesn't have a few.

    No, it means you have something to LOOSE...

    Which oddly enough, is somehow comforting after a head-wound (unless you're an idiot, Like I Was, and give away your ID before you realize you need it more than the crack addict crying on the bus cause he doesn't have insurance and need medical attention... ~ OK I really can't recall if he was a crack addict... but it makes for a more pathetic example even if it isn't strictly true...).

    I was literally shot in the face to facilitate MY ID THEFT.

    Be careful about telling crack addicts that ALL TO OFTEN are chronic "head bangers", and thus head-injured, that you've got something they might KILL FOR, a lifetime supply of FREE MEDICINE.

    I did, and live to regret it.

    After all, crack addicts oft speak of how ignoble the services are, whilst murdering their neighbors, yours and mine. THEY HAVE NO HONOR, unlike those of us who earned a ribbon, or a medal.

    THE ABSOLUTE WORST SORT OF CREEP IS ONE WHO STEALS SUCH HONOR FROM WOUNDED VETS, AND THEN VOTES NEO-CONSERFATIVE ~ SO THAT THE NEO-CONSERFATIVE SELFISH LOUT LOVES HIM MORE THAN US, WHO MIGHT SOMEDAY THINK, REASSESS OUR LOYALTIES AND VOTE OUT BAD POLITICIANS, WHILE SAID DOPER NEVER HAD A MIND TO CHANGE AND ONLY VOTES HIS ADDICTIONS...

    I call bullsh*t...

    Your story doesn't even make the slightest bit of sense.

    By the way, while you're researching and trolling, look up the "Stolen Valor Act of 2005".

    It's a good read.

    That is a nebulous term used by civilians who don't know anything....
