Pete Buttigieg Admits No Combat Ribbon from Deployment to Afghanistan
|
[Breitbart] Mayor Pete Buttigieg does not appear to have engaged in combat during his six months deployed in Afghanistan, despite months of ignoring multiple media requests about the issue, including from Breitbart News.
"But I saw a lot of action, IYKWIMAITYD"
The South Bend mayor spoke about his deployment during an interview with military news website Task and Purpose.
When asked if he considered himself a combat veteran, he replied, "Some say you are a combat veteran if you have a Combat Action Ribbon (I do not). Others say deploying to a combat zone makes you one. I simply consider myself a veteran, and I’ll leave it to others to decide what else to call it."
The Combat Action Ribbon (CAR) is awarded to members of the Navy or the Marine Corps who have actively participated in ground or surface combat.
Buttigieg added that his job was never intended to be a combat role, although he frequently drove or guarded military vehicles "outside the wire" of the military base.
According to his count, he traveled 119 times outside the wire.
