Mexican Generals; Why so many ribbons?

She was actually fired while on deployment for unauthorized dispensing of prescription meds. She probably had PTSD from the drill incident . . . .

Don't know who changed the title of this post. It never had anything about Mexican generals anywhere in it.

Fog, it's one of those sayings the kids are using these days to describe somebody someone whose uniform is ridiculously overdecorated with ribbons/medals/bling.

The saying can't be all that "hip" though, because a search in Urban Dictionary-dot-com comes up blank: "Mexican General isn't defined yet."

Thanks for trying to 'splain what happened. It looked to me like a PC attempt by someone to change the subject which was (a) about why a 1st tour CG (jg) has 4 rows of ribbons in particular, and (b) about medal-inflation in general in the US military today. I think we all got our dime's worth of discussion from the points of view expressed.

Yes, any changes must come under the guise of a thinly veiled attempt to impose some nebulous (but dangerous) PC agenda. You crack me up, Fog.

You asked for it:

327: Can you give us one solid reason why you are so condescending? In my generation we were at least taught to respect our elders - and I'm old as dirt.

 

[Brett327]

I'm old as dirt.

In my generation, we try to keep a good sense of humor about things, YMMV. It's just that you're so suspicious of everything. To me, that's funny.

I wouldn't take it personally Fog - he's smarter than everyone - not just our seasoned members....
