I don't know if this is common knowledge or maybe I'm just slow but when JK was handed his 3rd PH that was his ticket out of country. I guess per military law if you receive 3 PH your packed up and sent to the rear with the gear and than sent out of country. So this only leaves 1 conclusions. He was scared to death to be there and figured that this was the best way out without looking like a big p_ssy. I don't blame the guy for that. But to use it for your own gain thats what kills me. On Aug 8th the truth comes out.

I only caught the tail end if the Vietnam conflict and I was scared to death. I wish there was a big man like you over there to win it for us before I went.

Hell, the gulf ain't even close to Vietnam, but all these fishing dhows are makin' me nervous...

Cavallo... as a Navy guy I appreciated the president flying out to the Carrier to pay his respects. My ship was one of the escorts for the Abe Lincoln. We were there for the whole nine months with them. Now we (Mobile Bay) are back over here for another tour and the rest of that Carrier Strike Group doesn't come back for a while... we got hosed!!
