According to Washington Post, that’s the case.
They said Hegseth received a bronze star, and that’s just a common military award for officers.
But when Biden handed one out to someone a few years ago, it is “one of the military’s most prestigious decorations.”
So what is it Dems? I guess hating military service is en vogue again on the left.
The WaPo rag is full of ■■■■■ My father received a Bronze Star with Oak Leaf Cluster for his actions during the Battle of The Rhineland during WWII. The Army doesn’t recommend a soldier for any Award because they’re a a ■■■■■■■ officer.
Every who’s ever been in the Military during a time of war knows that the Bronze Star Medal is handed out to senior enlisted and officers just for showing up to the deployment.
Washington Post is talking crap.
I wonder how the Wash Post covered Waltz’s stolen valor?
John Kerry said he only threw his ribbons away…
I was wondering what is the British equivalent calle?. I know both militaries have similar decorations but they are always named differently. Like how the Medal of Honor is equivalent to the Victoria Cross in the commonwealth countries.
Is your sarcasm button on or are you just jerking the chain of the dumbasses who cruise this forum. 
SKerry also lied about his “Gengiss Kahn” exploits whilst a “Brown Naval” participant.
Refresh my memory… didn’t WaPo pump up Tim Walz’s military service during this campaign season and defend his record tirelessly?
I read that he actually threw someone else’s medals over the fence. 
I think it might be the Conspicuous Gallantry Cross. I know this medal has only been around since the early 90s after a review of honors/medals.
My Platoon Sergeant in Iraq, rode a profile for 10 months downrange, was the last in the company to go outside the wire, did exactly 2 missions outside the wire, never saw combat - Bronze Star Medal awarded at EOT.
My last platoon leader in Afghanistan, a butter bar, served 2 1/2 months in theater, never participated in combat - Bronze Star Medal awarded at EOT.
E7 and above, Bronze Star Medal for showing up. There’s a couple on here who have them for it too.
Hmm your service is much more recent than my Dad’s or mine. Dumb me, I always thought the Star like other awards were recommended for legit reasons like laying it on the line.
Bronze star by definition is MSM in a combat zone. Now a BS with a V device is what you were thinking.
The answer is that everything can be justified by the left cuz it’s always…different.
However, if you were an E-5 or below, you would’ve have been awarded an ARCOMM w/ V device instead, “So as not to dilute the merit of the award.”
I’m a little confused too.
My wife’s Dad received a bronze star for fighting in WW2.
He was wounded twice during that war and had a chunk out of one shoulder as a result.
He was also on the front lines fighting during Korea as well.
Silly me i thought that was typical for Bronze Star winners.
Glad some of you are being exposed to the ugly truth of the 21st Century American Military. 
He’s not. In my unit on our 2010 deployment everyone that was E-6 or above was given a bronze star.
