I'm sure there are laws against wearing decorations not earned @sneakypete . I KNOW that the UCMJ covers that thoroughly.
@Bigun I know for a FACT there are such regulations,and the military takes them VERY seriously.
Unless,of course,you have political connections.
BTW,I had a friend in 68-69 that had several "sterile" SOG recon operations under his belt in both Cambodia and Laos AND received incoming fire on at least two of them,and he couldn't get a CIB because he didn't qualify merely for being shot at. To EARN a CIB,army regulations require that you BOTH take fire from the enemy AND RETURE FIRE.
He finally earned his CIB by getting surrounded and having to shoot his way out.
Miss Miley got hers by blowing someone in Congress.
