The "operations director" of Minutemen American Defense has apparently been arrested on murder charges. Whatever, but here's what the MAD website has to say about him:
"We are honored to have Gunny aboard. He served 6 tours over seas, where he has several medals. He received a Purple heart, Silver and Bronze star, Combat Infantry Badge and a Presidential citation for his actions in the Special Forces...At this time, we cant release a picture of Gunny due to Operational Security."
A statement from "Gunny" (same website) says this: "For now I am being referred to as 'Gunny.' My personal information is being withheld for security reasons...I am about to have a big bullseye on me and i don't want retaliation to reach my family."
Gunny = gunnery sergeant = Marine Corps. Special Forces = Army = "not the Marine Corps."
My favorite phenomenon, the neighborhood dipshit who was in "Special Forces." ("I won, like, four or five Medal of Honors. And a bunch of Purple Stars.")

I can go to the PX and for 20 bucks be SF tabbed and a chest full of salad. Also I thought the Presidential Citation was issued to Units for Meritorious service not to individuals. But hey it looks cool on the bio.
Totally. "Yeah, what aisle are the Medals of Honor on?"
If I still had PX privileges, I would promote myself to lieutenant colonel.
