    I saw that photo on Face Book.

    The guy is either trying to crack wise, or he is a poser and a liar.

    Some points to consider:

    - the shoulder patch is the 2d Infantry Division Patch

    - you do not wear the Mountain Tab with that patch

    - you only wear one Airborne Tab at a time, and that is when in an Airborne unit

    - he has a CIB AND a CAB on - that is not really likely

    - the guys PV2 rank is on sideways

    If you are the guy in the photo, and are trolling for answers to difficult questions that real Servicemembers will ask you, I recommend that you dump the tabs over the 2ID patch, take off the CAB, and wear at least a Corporal's rank, as anything lower will not have done all the stuff you are trying to fake.

    The airborne badge Is awardered to everyone who joins .the mountain bags is a skill badge so people can see it and know that u can help in the situation. The sheild is a ranking badge . The reason why he does want to talk about it is because he killed people and propble us ashamed and he (shouldn't be) and he also have seen people die and blown up .

    To buttress what Kev posted, it's also a REAL good way to get the @#$% kicked out of you.

    Some people don't like talking about their experience in the military. They may find it traumatic or they just don't care to tell.
