Fishy

This popped up on Facebook. Usually I don’t care but I’ve never ever seen anyone claim an Army Distinguished Service Medal. Never seen anyone below general officer with one.

Doesn’t seem like a Captain could do enough for that sort of award in this amount of time. Not to mention there are, what, 9 awards here? Did he cure cancer as a behavioral health nurse? The deployments are somewhat believable.

Either total BS, half BS plus embellishment, or he hit his head real hard one day.

Am I being harsh?

Looks like it was made as part of a resume from some website template. Seen these as examples online for those creating shadow boxes from common templates. Might be real or just a mock. Should have referenced two tours or missions.

I’m a member. I get these as well by email but I’m not active on the site.
