minus-squaregivesomefucks@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1arrow-down1·5 hours agoYou’re right, both that he was and that the requirement for JG is literally a pulse… It didn’t make it to Wikipedia, and barely got takes onto his defense.gov bio, but it is there. That makes the phrasing even weirder then… BJ Penn had it for two months in 09, but he had service time. The guy who had the very beginning of 09 was in freaking DARPA,but if they’re counting them, why start at 09 instead of 06? Like, if we go back 8 of them, we’re only in 2017 if we count acting. If we only count permanent then 8 goes back to 2001. The math just isn’t matching for me.
