He became Commanding General of the 3rd Marine Division..
He was shot, recovered and returned to lead his platoon until June 1969.
For his Service in and during the Vietnam War his military decorations and awards
included the The Bronze Star with combat at level "V"..
Purple Heart Medal and 2 Navy/ Marine Commendation medals and a Combat Action Medal..
I really hope that tomorrow that one of our House Reps.stands up and honors Mueller for his remarkable service in Vietnam.. What the hell... Repubs would not think twice about doing this ,if one of theirs were sworn in to testify..
But here's my real reason for posting the facts above...
I just can't figure why Mueller wouldn't be guns out.. ready to put these shits away
where they belong..My God, why wouldn't he do this? Our country is literally under attack from a president and the whole fucking Republican Party which could permanently destroy our country.. I just don't get it...

Further " Mueller had originally considered making the Marines his career, but he explained later that he found non-combat life in the Corps to be unexciting"

The Specifics were not important and I feel I gave an overview of his bravery in combat in order to make my point.
A Former Marine who went through a horrible military action in Vietnam, survived with military honors ... I just think he won't back down tomorrow!
