Despite repeated promises over the course of weeks, Bird hasn’t released any documentation to support his assertions. Instead, he’s accused “The Jason Rantz Show” on KTTH of working for “the establishment” to bring down his campaign and offered irrelevant documents and statements that do not dispute the original reporting.Bird was honored at a 2006 ceremony in Kennewick where he was awarded a Bronze Star Medal with Valor. He was dressed in full uniform for the event.
Among the general’s many outlined findings, Pagan said that Bird “wore awards and badges that you had not earned.” Bird also wore a Blue Infantry Cord and Infantry Disc at the ceremony. Special Forces soldiers do not typically qualify to wear either, even if they have an infantry background. They wear their own distinctive insignia and accoutrements that reflect their Special Forces affiliation, rather than infantry.
It is true that what appears to be Bird’s last DD-214 does not include awards or badges he did not earn. But that is likely because it was a corrected DD-214, a result of the GOMR. Prior to the correction, Bird listed the Special Operations Divers Badge on two separate DD-214 forms and a DA 2-1 form .
Bird served in the UN Peacekeeping Mission in the Sinai Peninsula at the time in direct support of the Multinational Force and Observers , an international peacekeeping force overseeing the terms of the peace treaty between Egypt and Israel. His role was not for combat duty in Afghanistan. Gubernatorial candidate Semi Bird denied wearing a Special Operations Combat Diver Badge, that he didn’t earn. Video shows he did. Bird has repeatedly denied wrongdoing, insisting that the GOMR is being misrepresented. Instead, he focuses on his claim that it was illegally obtained either by “The Jason Rantz Show” on KTTH or a source. But the senior NCO said he was able to confirm that both the GOMR and Bird’s response were in the permanent file in 2010, not a restricted file .
