As I understand it, you were a company commander in Iraq, commanding an Infantry company, you got a Purple Heart and a CIB, yet your end of tour award was only an ARCOM (without V device). I knew captains in Iraq who got Bronze Stars basically for showing up and breathing. I also understand your company command was well short of 18 months? Please confirm or deny these facts about your service, because if they are true that means you were a complete failure in combat, LTC (Ret.) Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man. Probably explains why you had to leave the Infantry and become a Foreign Area Officer, so please be sure to let me know if I have any of my facts wrong. kthxbai
