I’m sure he’s eligible for some medal of valor, bravery, intelligence or some other imagined horse shit.

I served with our medical unit in Zagreb, Croatia during the Balkans Crisis in 1995. The U.S. military designated it a war zone so our pay during that time wasn't taxed. During my four month deployment, we never heard a shot nor were the locals hostile towards us. Just because I served there doesn't make me a "war hero" just as sending planes to bomb Iran doesn't make him a "war hero."

Both the Orange Turd and I have something in common. As the fictional English Barrister Horace Rumpole once said of his service as a member of the RAF ground staff in WWII, "We both avoided the temptation of heroism".
