Not a week of BULLSHIT about MJ<SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: verdana; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; mso-bidi-font-family: 'times new roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'times new roman'; mso-ansi-language: en; mso-fareast-language: en-us; mso-bidi-language: ar-sa" lang=EN>?The California Air National Guard named me a Brigadier General, an honorary position, but in the Marine Corps, I got to be a full bird, what they call a full bird, a colonel. And I?m very proud of that, and I?m very proud of my career in the Marines. I had six years, two wars, 85 combat missions, so I?m very proud of that.? 
?It?s not the same, no it?s not. It?s unfortunate.You know, in World War Two, even in <COUNTRY-REGION w:st="on" /><PLACE w:st="on" />Korea</PLACE /></COUNTRY-REGION />, everyone was kind of involved. They called <COUNTRY-REGION w:st="on" /><PLACE w:st="on" />Korea</PLACE /></COUNTRY-REGION /> the ?forgotten war? but still, everybody had someone, a cousin or somebody that was in the war, and in World War Two, everybody was in the war ? the Gold Star mothers, you know, everybody was involved. We had certain restrictions and rules we had to abide by and it was a different situation. 
?Unfortunately now, it?s tumbled into a thing almost like <COUNTRY-REGION w:st="on" />Vietnam</COUNTRY-REGION /> again where these boys coming back from <COUNTRY-REGION w:st="on" />Iraq</COUNTRY-REGION /> and <COUNTRY-REGION w:st="on" /><PLACE w:st="on" />Afghanistan</PLACE /></COUNTRY-REGION /> ? they should be honored as well and it disappoints me that they?re not.?

For what it's worth, there is not hardly a day go by that I don't see on a news show someone getting honored or recognizing a deceased military vet. My wife and I talk regularly about how hard it would be to "get the news" when the tv shows the picture of the fallen soldier.
