Bronze Stars and valor awards for days, how the gently caress did he get an Air Medal? This dude should get the GI Joe logo stamped in his headstone, that's a badass motherfucker.Stultus Maximus posted:Only 70% of my brigade was killed. I've been reading up on the Charge of the Light Brigade. Pretty worthy. The orders were misinterpreted (and vague) so British light cavalry charged up the middle of a valley head-on to attack Russian artillery at the other end. And there was more Russian artillery on both sides firing down from an elevated position. It was a textbook charge, aside from the gross misapplication of such a force. They actually routed their adversaries, then wheeled and returned back down the valley, still taking fire from both sides. Roughly 50% killed or captured, almost everyone was wounded, but the commander who actually led the charge from the front survived intact and testified in front of Parliament. The Russians literally thought the Brits were drunk to even try it. They were probably supposed to go up one of the sides of the valley and try to flank the artillery there, rather than try to QB sneak that poo poo with 700 cavalrymen and no blockers (the heavy cavalry were going to follow, which ALSO makes no sense, but their commander stopped that nonsense when he saw how well it was going for the light cavalry).

If it's not an active campaign or something do you get awards for hush hush missions and such?

EVA BRAUN BLOWJOBS posted:How did he get a Presidential Unit Citation (Navy)? Did he change branch? More than likely he was in Afghanistan at the beginning, when TF K-Bar was a thing running around in '01/'02 killing al-Qaeda and poo poo. CJSOTF-SOUTH/TF-K-Bar earned a PUC (Navy/USMC) for some reason as opposed to one of the other branches, I'm sure that has something to do with who was the head chicken-fucker at the top of the TF.

Although stories circulated afterwards that he was not actually present, he led the charge from the front and, never looking back, did not see what was happening to the troops behind him. He reached the Russian guns, took part in the fight, and then returned alone up the valley without bothering to rally or even find out what had happened to the survivors. He afterwards said all he could think about was his rage against Captain Nolan, who he thought had tried to take over the leadership of the charge from him. After riding back up the valley, he considered he had done all that he could and then, with considerable sang-froid, left the field and went on board his yacht in Balaclava harbour, where he ate a champagne dinner."

The sad thing is that the reason he was mad at Nolan is that he thought Nolan was rushing out be in front of the charge for glory...it's more likely that Nolan was actually trying to wave the charge off because he knew that wasn't the intent of the orders. Either way, he got blasted by an artillery shell immediately and Cardigan had a killer dinner.
