The Sergeant Major admitted his mistake and apologized. He has my respect.Sergeant Major of the Marine Corps Carlos Ruiz learned a lesson the hard way: Never put “Baby” in a corner.
In a now-deleted Instagram post this week, Ruiz can be seen pointing toward a photo of a U.S. soldier with a myriad of medals strewn across his chest and arms.
“Uniform standards have entered the group chat!” Ruiz wrote in the post. “Exhibit A: This is what it looks like when we don’t have a standard. Make sure to check out MCO 1020.34H for all uniform guidance!”
Ruiz blurred out the soldier’s face, but it took users mere seconds to clock that the photo Ruiz was referring to was of Audie Murphy — nicknamed “Baby” — the single-most decorated American combat soldier of WWII and one of the most decorated American service members of all time.

Do you want to go full idiot? Because that's how you go full idiot...
I don’t think even 10% would know him by his picture, nor know anything about him.The Sergeant Major admitted his mistake and apologized. He has my respect.
I daresay if you show a picture of Audie Murphy to a group of Americans...whether in any branch of the military or not...nine out of ten wouldn't know who the guy is.

That's what we call an actual apology. He tried to make a joke, it was the wrong person to joke about.Earlier today I posted a picture of a great American hero, Audie Murphy. In poor taste, I linked his uniform to today’s regulations. My sincere apologies, as I meant no disrespect. There is a history linked to that photo and why his decorations are where they are. It shouldn’t have happened and there are no excuses
I’m familiar with his movies, but I don’t think anyone under the age of 60 would have any clue. How many people watch movies made more than 20 years ago?
Kid’s movies, you have a point.Well, IMO that all depends on the age and personal interests. For example, young children may enjoy watching the older Disney movies like the Sound of Music, Mary Poppins, and cartoons like the original Snow White, Cinderella, etc.
Western buffs may enjoy all sorts of movies starring people like Clint Eastwood, and those into spy movies starring Sean Connery.
But then again, movies these days are mostly about the pyrotechnics and CGI monsters...
Ruiz is stupid.That's what we call an actual apology. He tried to make a joke, it was the wrong person to joke about.
Kid’s movies, you have a point.
Westerns, does anyone watch old westerns anymore?
Too bad they don’t make them peel potatoes anymore.Indeed, Ruiz needs to be put on inventory taking for a while. Hide his face for a period of time.
I love old movies too, but I doubt those like us make up much more than 1% of the population.Thank.
I do, I love westerns starring John Wayne, Clint Eastwood, Henry Fonda, and James Stewart. I also like non-westerns they starred in.
Or clean out the mess hall grease pit.Too bad they don’t make them peel potatoes anymore.

I'm not sure that's valid. Mr. Murphy became a movie star after his military service, working in a number of movies made in the 40's, 50's, and 60's.
