What I want to know did he really just get that medal now (recent) or did I read that wrong. If he just got that **** that.

I read that story the other day. Incredible. But I'm willing to bet $50 there's some falsehoods in the now recanted tale.

Actually he was pissed his buddy bet him $50 he couldn't shoot down 2 migs and he shot down 4.

Didn't pay up.
