Does stolen valor anger you as much as it does me?

That's Major Kamaljeet Singh Kalsi, Bronze Star Medal Recipient. He's an American Sikh.


In 1981, the United States military banned new Sikh soldiers from maintaining their religiously-mandated turbans and unshorn hair. Previously, turbaned Sikhs had been serving in the United States military since World War I. In 2009 and 2010, the United States Army agreed to individual exceptions for three Sikh soldiers so that they could maintain their religious articles of faith while serving their country - Major Kamaljeet Singh Kalsi, Captain Tejdeep Singh Rattan, and Specialist Simran Preet LambaMajor Kalsi emphasized that Sikh practices do not prevent soldiers from performing with excellence. “By making this call to end the presumptive ban on Sikh military service, let me make clear that I would never advocate for anything that would put my fellow soldiers in harm’s way,” said Major Kalsi.“If Sikhs could not wear helmets or gas masks when required, I would never call on my military to accommodate Sikh American soldiers.“But that is simply not the case. Sikh soldiers have served on special forces teams. They have jumped out of airplanes as paratroopers, and have deployed in far forward combat operations. We can serve our country and be Sikh at the same time.”The Sikh Coalition, the nation’s leading Sikh civil rights organization, has spearheaded the fight to end the presumptive ban on the Sikh military service in the US since 2009.“If our military needs “proof of concept” that Sikhs can serve with excellence, it needs to look no further than Major Kalsi, Captain Rattan, and Specialist Lamba,” said Amardeep Singh, Program Director of the Sikh Coalition.Major Kalsi received the Bronze Star Medal for his service in Afghanistan. In support of the award, an official recommendation from Major Kalsi’s superiors cites his resuscitation back to life of two patients who were clinically dead on arrival; his “expert” emergency care of over 750 soldiers and civilians; and his general “commitment and leadership above and beyond that of his general duties”.

Yep, Sikhs are not only badasses in combat, their religion is pretty no-shit about helping those who need aid. I didn't know who MAJ (then-CPT) Kalsi was but I recognized the Sikh turban and looked to me like his uniform was spot-on. I would be more than happy to have a Sikh covering my 6.

My dad served in Vietnam. He still says to this day ( he is 70yrs old) "I served my country so that Jane Fonda could me a bitch". Funny thing is he is a raging liberal. This guy is just sad and life has a way of serving some kind of justice for his ilk!

I know sometimes when I run out of clean clothes, I wear my wife's wedding dress. Also, sometimes when I can't afford a decent meal, I show up to a restaurant in her wedding dress with my make-up all runny like I just got left at the alter. Works every time.

Seeing as you've worn make-up to send me a SWAK note, this doesn't surprise me.... sorry for PWTing in this thread, but it's Irving's fault!

Why is it that the image of you in your wife's dress is just not clicking right now...... We have gone from "stolen Valor" to "stolen Wedding" in one post. Please show this to your better half so we can see the pics of what you look like after she takes the belt to you.

You know, I already forgot that I did that, and I can see now that it left the kind of impression that I'll never be able to live down.

My wife is so short her wedding dress would look like mini-skirt on me.
