Part 2: Captain Nilson, you insulted our National Guard by saying that those involved in a civil disorder are not entitled to a Purple Heart. Major Muslim Hasan was in a Soldier Readiness Processing Center when he murdered 13 and wounded 30 Army personnel. The Army initially considered this as “workplace violence,” but then upgraded to Combat Related and awarded those wounded and killed with the purple heart, much to your chagrin I’m sure.
Then there were two West Virginia Guardians, one killed, one on life support while performing duty in Washington, D.C., by an Afghan national, and three Iowa Guardians killed Dec 2025 in Syria. Are they not entitled to the Purple Heart?
Army CWO Eric Slover took four armor piercing balls in one leg, shredding it. Nilson, this was NOT a rescue mission as you would like it to be considered, it was an operation against a known enemy that has killed thousands of Americans with the drugs slipped into our country. If you were to do your homework, you will see that there WAS a military board that was in agreement for all medals issued.
President Trump awarded the Medal of Freedom to hockey player Connor Hellebuyck that brought Honor and Gold to America. That is NO DIFFERENT than the Medals of Freedom Biden awarded to Magic Johnson, Lionel Messi, Simone Biles, Megan Rapinoe and Katie Ledecky. So how can you contest that? It’s really only because President Trump awarded it and you are a Biden obsequious sycophant. That is also because of your failure to research the awards. As I told Kemmick, I will say to you as well: take the plank out of your eye before trying to correct something you know very little about.
You, “Captain,” exude a sense of entitlement, that YOU should be on the board to approve/disprove military Honors. You qualify that by your comment: “I would have to see his medals and combat record…” for Royce Williams, the 100-year-old WW2, Korea and Viet Nam pilot. If you disprove the award of the above-mentioned Honorable Veterans, then contact Tim Sheehy, Ryan Zinke both Navy Special Ops and Troy Downing, Air Force Special Ops and complain to them to rescind those awards, then do this, Cap’n,: report back to YCN readers your success or efforts.
We have not met, but I spend at least two days a week at the APC gym working on my conditioning and coaching amateur boxing. If you are enrolled in the APC gym program, we can meet, and chat. They always have coffee on for us.
Just because I pour salt on your wounds that you caused, don’t feel that I have any animus towards another Veteran; it’s just that you Trump haters try to hide in plain sight, but WE SEEEE YOU!
There, Cap’n,, I’ve kept this write at under 500 words just for YOU and…
“there is no fudging.”
