Thought it was going to be the story I saw on the tv last night. Our local news has gone to an hour and they show a lot of "why is this news" stories now. Last night their was a clip on some drama over how many silver and bronze stars he obtained. Apparently his navy records say 2 different things and his book says something else. Ben my choice I woulda been watching hockey but I wasn't at my house......thought it was a pretty pathetic attempt at a story.

    I read that also about the Medals , thought about how this Administration can & will screw with peoples lives & wouldn't put it past them to do or say anything . They have replaced a lot of very good Officers, in all branches  with some of their stooges .

   I wonder if it the " Wounded Warriors Fund " that they are talking about , because they have been in the news down here a lot for wasting $$ , even after firing their CEO & his exc.. The home office is here in Jacksonville , fl.

  I could only partly open that link , it kept locking my MacBook up , no idea why , had to restart my Lap Top two get out of it , strange .

I had a lot of pop up bs on my phone that I don't normally get may have been that

maybe she's mad they're not working with the "Chris Kyle foundation"

I got some popups the first time I opened it, but it worked the second time. I'll look for another source. I don't think this is about the ww scam though. Article basically says a few small grassroots vet charities were using Kyle's name, and taya sent them all cease and desist letters. Chris's bro was involved with them, and hints she's in it for the money, and is just a jaded gold digger, and her and Chris were getting a divorce  when he died.  Had some screen shots of other specops guys posting about it as well.

I didn't buy into the medal bs. Even if his 214 didn't back up his claims, 214s are wrong pretty often and it's a royal pain in the ass to get them fixed one you get out.

And you get a physical metal for each correct? I'm pretty sure he knew how many metals he had, I'm sure they were displayed in his home.........

Not always. If you are awarded something while you are "busy" you don't always get the ceremony. Depending on how busy you are ( and I think it's safe to say a SEAL stayed pretty busy in that time period, you might never be handed the medal. 

Another thing  people don't realize is leaving the military isn't like quitting your job at burger king. It can be more like breaking up with a girl you had an abusive relationship with. Emotional stuff. when you finally had enough, you just go. You block the phone number. You do whatever you need to do to move on.

I didn't, until listening to "the drinkin bros" podcast with the art15 guys. Mat best and  Rocco both explained that break up. 

I guess I assumed if you were awarded something you would get it in some way or another. Thanks for clearing that up.
