reducing retirement

The Attorney General of California wants to reduce the retirees check. We are having hard times now. How ridiculous —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.105.65.154 (talk) 13:22, 24 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Paragraph doesn't make sense

The following paragraph at <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duncan_D._Hunter> needs editing. I do not understand it.

“Hunter is a United States Marine and veteran of both the Iraq War and the War in Afghanistan. He is one of only two members of the U.S. Congress, along with John Boccieri (D-OH), to have served in both conflicts and the only combat veteran of either serving in the Congress[1]”.

First it says Hunter is one of two members to have served in BOTH conflicts (NOTE: i.e., combat). Then it says “. . . and the only combat veteran serving in the Congress”. Those are mutually exclusive statements. Together, they don’t make sense.

You're confusing yourself by equating conflict with combat. There's a difference between serving in a conflict and serving in combat. One can serve in a conflict without fighting, e.g. in headquarters, rear support, communications, air traffic control, etc. When one is in combat, one is with other soldiers who are fighting. 173.49.135.190 (talk) 20:27, 23 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Issue with ribbons

Based on this page, the Iraq Campaign Medal page, and the Afghanistan Campaign Medal page, there should be three stars on the ICM and one on the ACM. If wikipedia pages aren't good enough references, I can give better references.
