Yea, you've got a chest of medals.

To be fair, 5 of the 8 are "I was there" awards--- campaign medals. The USMIL award system with regards to campaign medals is a little odd; we go for long stretches of our history issuing just one campaign medal per war, but every now and then (1898, 1941-45, 2001-present) we get a bit medal-happy and congress will issue several; each one for different theaters of the same conflict.

Truth be told, a British or French soldier who went everywhere I went and did everything I did would have received, near as I can tell, something around 5 times fewer awards than I did---due to those nations' Armies lack of equivalent awards. But that's a subject for another thread.

I'm sure that there is good reason for lifting the kettle weight in his Ys while standing on broken glass, but it's lost on me.

any of you Guys ever use this?
No, and I wouldn't. You realize that video is just promo for that? How much is? 200$? I don't see any great function with this. You can do same exercise with dumbbells. The advertising it as speed bag, but this don't do same for you. Speed bag is primarily for building good coordination of your arm movements and this thing doesn't do that at all. Yes you would train little bit of delts and traps with this thing, but as I said you can do that probably even better with regular gym equipment
Kurt says it all from 1:00 to 1:06. :)
