Speaking of Overstatement

Kos catches the apparent fact that Bush did not even earn the "just showed up" medal given to Texas National Guardsmen and appears to have lied even in his picture by wearing ribbons he didn't earn.

Somewhere the thickest Law School Professor in Tennessee is screaming "CAMBODIA!, CAMBODIA!, CAMBODIA!, for the love of all that is holy, doesn't anybody give a shit about Christmas in Cambodia?" He then curls back into his fetal ball, tugs on his bigoted ass T-Shirt and sticks his thumb back in his mouth, quivering and whimpering.

Sorry about that, not a pretty picture is it, but by golly I had to write some goddamn snark today!

The Texas State Guard Service Medal, shall be awarded to a person completing three consecutive years of honorable service in the Texas State Guard during which the person has shown fidelity to duty, efficient service, and great loyalty to the state.
According to his ANG22 (The Air National Guard discharge papers), [Bush] received NO Texas National Guard Medals. This means he did not faithfully execute his duty for five years in the TANG. He also did not even faithfully execute his duty for three years in the TANG. This supports the AWOL charges.

Furthermore, in the following photograph he wears two Air Force ribbons, Air Force Outstanding Unit Award, and the Small Arms Expert Marksmanship Ribbon, Neither of which show up on this line of his ARG22:
:

I have verified the Air Force Outstanding Unit Award and Air Force Small Arms Expert Marksmanship ribbon only via a photograph of George W. Bush. Other Air Force awards can only be verified if Bush releases his DD214.
