Palin Blames Track’s Arrest on PTSD, from his Stolen Valor “Combat” Service

Today, in an appearance by the Trump/Palin Donkey Show, at Orel Robert’s University, in Oklahoma, Trump’s Secretary of the Liquor Cabinet, Sarah Palin, in the typical Palin It’s Obama’s fault universe, blamed her off-spring Track’s behavior on his patriotic, heroic combat military service in Iraq, which led to his developing PTSD, which explains away his behavior.
Not his fault, oh no, the Islamics and Obama forced him to do it. So, that must explain Track’s pre-military service criminal behavior as well. Must have been Pre-PTSD, which conveniently absolves Sarah’s precocious prodigy from any personal responsibility for his behavior. What she also failed to mention is that boy wonder Track was forced into military service or else be put in jail for his criminal behavior. So, what could be more patriotic than going into the military. Choice easy, get to kill Muslims or be some big dude’s bitch in jail. My hero.

]Sarah put a lot of emphasis (re.: blame) that Track’s PTSD was caused by his combat experience. However, on reading Track’s discharge paper, there is no Combat Infantry Badge (CIB) award issued designation.

III. AWARD ELIGIBILITY

Awarded to personnel in the grade of Colonel or below with an infantry or special forces military occupational specialty who have satisfactorily performed duty while assigned as a member of an infantry/special forces unit, brigade or smaller size, during any period subsequent to 6 December 1941 when the unit was engaged in active ground combat. The policy was expanded to permit award to Command Sergeants Major of infantry battalions or brigades, effective 1 December 1967. Specific criteria for each conflict was also established. Only one award is authorized for service in Vietnam, Laos, the Dominican Republic, Korea (subsequent to 4 January 1969), El Salvador, Grenada, Panama, the Southwest Asia and Somalia, regardless of whether an individual has served in one or more of these areas. The complete criteria for each area and inclusive dates are listed in Army Regulation 600-8-22.


If American War Hero Extraordinaire Track the Merciless actually served in combat, he would have the CIB listed in Section 13. There is no such listing for a CIB award. It is quite obvious that Track the Jihadist Hunter never actually served in combat. However, good ol’ Sarah the Grifter emphasized quite vociferously that Track’s combat experience caused his PTSD. WTF?? Sounds like another right winger’s disgusting fraudulent assertion of Stolen Valor. All the while, one of the main points of every “speech” she makes, is her relentless and conscienceless pimping of American service people for her own self-aggrandizement.

It looks like Team Trump has taken control of what Sarah says at the mike. Team Trump obviously wrote her speech and they must have laid down the law to her that she follows/reads their speech, not one of her TweakerSpeak diatribes. Her presentation today was definitely written by beings of a much higher intelligence level, as it was coherent.
So, world beware, it looks like Sarah is now officially an integral member of the Trump Bowel Movement.

Every day, the bar is dropped lower and lower. And the brownshirts just eat this shit up.

GRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!

If somebody could please post his discharge paper on this thread, I would greatly appreciate it, I can't post an image

21. My CIB isn't on my DD 214

It's an omission error, but I'm not suggesting the same thing could have happened to Track. The error on my record occurred decades ago when all record-keeping was on paper.

In any case, my CIB is documented. I still have copies of the source document, my original unit orders authorizing the award. And the 214 omision can be corrcted at any time by issuance of a DD 215 if I request it.

In fact, according to Veterans Affairs, if it ain't on there, it doesn't exist.

Mine is right on there in black and white.

What an insult to those who are actually serving and the veterans in this country who have actually seen combat.

My husband has a CAB (Combat Action Badge), which is given to soldiers who come under fire in support roles (his was Communications supporting a Marine battalion).
His PTSD, while mild, has been a silent burden on our family. How dare she use that as an excuse!
