He was protecting his own right to protest, remember? All the more gratifying if you ask me. Even though this picture of lojasmo was during his time as a reservist, actual pictures of him in uniform during these times are protected. Shhhh Opsec....

Ha ha ha. Paul, that's 9th ID, huh? F-in cool!
While we're showing pics:
Me & my ma, BCT graduation, Mar 88 -- cohort rocked!
Me taking a quick bath at Ft Hunter Liggett, I'm guessing 1990, during a training exercise with the Brits, Aussies, and Cannucks --that water was COLD!
My first 1SG, who's now CSM of USJFCOM, Mark Ripka, taken in Bagram, AFG 2004 --absolute hardest individual I've ever know. Of course, he's the same guy who put me in ADAD.

Just curious pat, are they handing out stars for the CIB this time around? You've been to what? Three hostile places that can earn a CIB, right? Seems like they just stopped doing that after Vietnam.

Gotta tip my hat to you...
You juggled being a weekend warrior and a hippy all in a four week span of pure hair growth.

Kosovo, I don't know.
Panama, all I know is that though Op Just Cause was indeed granted a CIB (though real hostilities were more or less for about 30 days), some friends of mine participated in Desert Storm but weren't allowed to wear a star. I don't know why.
I deserve the CIB for Panama, but given my specific situation/job in Kosovo and Afghanistan, I wouldn't wear one even if I were authorized. I did get a Joint Service ARCOM for AFG, though.
