Maryland Governor Wes Moore claimed to be a bronze star recipient.  He’s not.  WTF? He should be made to step down immediately.

Did he claim it was awarded by the military or by his first grade teacher on his arithmatic test?  Maybe this is just another nutty misunderstanding, like Tim Walz having grammar challenges.

Unlike the fake stolen valor claims against Walz this one has merit.

ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) — Maryland Gov. Wes Moore said Thursday he made “an honest mistake” in failing to correct a White House fellowship application 18 years ago when he wrote he had received a Bronze Star for his military service in Afghanistan though he never ended up receiving it, after the New York Times obtained a copy of the application and reported on it.

The newspaper, which obtained the document as part of a Freedom of Information Act request, reported that Moore made the claim on the application in 2006 when he was 27.

In a statement, the governor wrote that he had been encouraged to fill out the application for the fellowship by his deputy brigade commander serving overseas in the Army. At the time, Moore said the deputy brigade commander had recommended him for the Bronze Star — and told him to include the award on his application “after confirming with two other senior-level officers that they had also signed off on the commendation.”

Toward the end of his deployment, however, Moore said he was disappointed to learn he had not received the Bronze Star. When he returned home, Moore said he was “focused on helping my fellow veterans, a mission I continue to advance as governor.”

“Still, I sincerely wish I had gone back to correct the note on my application,” Moore, a Democrat, said in a statement Thursday. “It was an honest mistake, and I regret not making that correction.”

The Bronze Star is awarded to service members for meritorious service in combat zones.

The governor noted in his statement Thursday that he was listed as a top 1% officer in Operation Enduring Freedom in his officer evaluation report.

“My deputy brigade commander felt comfortable with instructing me to include the award on my application for the Fellowship because he received confirmation with the approval authority that the Bronze Star was signed and approved by his senior leadership,” Moore wrote.

The governor also wrote that in the military, “there is an understanding that if a senior officer tells you that an action is approved, you can trust that as a fact. That is why it was part of the application, plain and simple.”

The award had been mentioned during interviews with media when Moore was running for governor in 2022, but Moore never said in those interviews that he had not received the commendation. In an interview with the New York Times, the governor said for the first time that he regretted failing to correct the interviewers who had described him as a recipient of the award.

The newspaper also spoke to the officer who Moore said had recommended he put the award on his application this week in an interview arranged by Moore’s staff. The officer, Michael Fenzel, who is now a lieutenant general serving as the United States security coordinator for Israel and the Palestinian Authority, told The Times that Moore had first objected to the idea of mentioning the Bronze Star.

Fenzel said he had told Moore that he and others had approved the medal, and that it was appropriate to include it in his application, the newspaper reported, and that it would be processed by the time his fellowship began.

I read that article. They left out that he never corrected the claim years later. He let it stay when it was brought up in interviews.  Now you know the rest of the story.  Feel stupid? You should.

You guys have convinced me, from now on I'm only going to support people who LIE to get out of service.

They have no sense of irony or hyprocrasy. Trump getting a fake medical excuse to avoid military service entirely is fine with them, but they are critical of Walz who served a total of 24 years in various units and jobs in the Army National Guard.

Amen. But they expect for things to get better, I think doing the same thing, but expecting something different is insanity.

And they think the Medal of Honor isn't as big a deal as the Medal of Freedom, which Nancy Pelosi, Al Gore, Simon Biles, Ted Kennedy, Harvey Milk, Billie Jean King, Bob Dylan, Bill Clinton and myriad others have be awarded.
