Chris,
Was this posted elsewhere? If so, where? Sorry I missed it.

From what I read, he was discharged before even finishing what us grunts called AIT, advanced individual training. If he's an example of what the so-called Iraqi Veterans Against the War are bringing to the table as an alternative to the war, it's the equivalent of doing mental jousting with an unarmed man.

If he was discharged prior to completing AIT, how did he earn a Purple Heart, or any other award for that matter? HOw did he manage to spend 16 month in Iraq as a Ranger, without finishing AIT, without finishing Ranger training, and without finising Airborne training? It's people like him that there should be a federal law on the book making it a crime to wear or claim the right to wear awards and decorations for which they are not entitled.
