A Question: Can't Find This Anywhere -- What Service Medals Has Scott Olsen Earned ?

[vets74]

You would assume he has the in-country medals.

But what all does he have? Anything in the Unit Citation awards? I don't see info on his unit, what he did, where he served.

The righties are always hot to tell us that soldiers who support their racist/anti-librul rants are super-soldiers.

Honestly, I want to know more about this Marine, Scott Olsen. Obviously he'll have a National Defense Service Medal. What else?

Anybody seen anything in the corporate press or elsewhere?

Please post here if you see anything.

1. Here is a start

An AP profile that was posted here by DUer Hissyspit:

A small bit:

...Olsen was awarded seven medals while serving in the U.S. Marine Corps, which he left as a lance corporal in November 2009 after serving for four years. One of them was the Navy-Marine Corps Achievement Medal...

2. Seems irrelevant.

3. Doesn't matter. Doesn't matter that he was a Marine (although I thank him for his service)...

..It matters that he is a Citizen of the United States who was attacked for exercising his rights.

4. It matters because the righties will do everything they can to smear him...

and thus smear the OWS.

5. They do that anyway.

If anything can be said about any rightwinger that is unversal is that they bear false witness.

6. Of course they will. They smeared Kerry's two Silver Stars, but ...

7. Bingo ! -- There's also the Murdoch/Rove scam that all he-men are "conservatives."

This guy's a jarhead. Apparently a good one.

Somewhat more credible than the rightie drug addicts -- Limbaugh and Beck for two.
