I have often found those who are quick to jump up and throw out their "merits" typically really have the least reason to do so.
While everyone here, my self included, has tremendous respect and support for our fighting men and women let me be the first to tell you I'm not impressed. Typically the guys who are the first to throw that out there, especially when it's obvious they are just itching for a reason to such as in this case, saw the least amount of combat.
Character is made of a lot more than just a combat infrantry badge. Every soldier who has gone to war and actually seen combat in some capacity has one of those. As @Red Leg said you may want to know who your audience is before you continue on with all the chest thumping bravado.

Just a suggestion Mohammed from Jordan but grow a pair and do your own killing?

@Mohammad nuimaet ,

Please ignore Fred and accept our apologies for his poor behavior. His statements do not represent the vast, vast majority of this forum. We pride ourselves on being polite and welcoming to all who are the same and you did nothing to merit his inappropriate outburst.

You're very welcome to be here and as stated before, your question was fair and legitimate. Again, apologies and good luck in your search!

No worries Mohammad, I'm sorry that some guy feels the need to be an ass for no apparent reason.
I wish you the best of luck and hope you are successful in finding one.
There are many on here who would say your English is better than mine.

The question was asked and your uncomfortable with the answer. But the ethics lecture from the owner of a fenced game farm where “hunters” shoot “exotics” in pens is duly noted.

Ya well so is the pompous response from the paper clerk who had an AD and managed to get a CIB to post all over the internet so he can feel cool.

Well said Gizmo.

@Fred Gunner ,

The question from @TOM was an obvious one that you've deflected from, or can't see from your high horse. What African DG animals have you hunted? Please share your African DG experiences with us, if you have any.

Thank you for your service by the way. As you pointed out earlier though, this is an African Big Game Hunting forum, not a mercenary or former combat veteran forum. I'm sure those exist though and that they'd be happy to see your Orders there. Here though, we're much more interested in your trophy pics.

We have one moderator here for a reason Fred. It's because we are polite and self police to a large extent. There are plenty of other forums that allow you to spew whatever you want. If you can't help yourself, go find one.

But the this is pointless since the ban on importing Lion trophies will never be lifted as long as trafficking of lion trophies to countries like Jordan is allowed to continue.

Wow we have a certified super ninja, lion expert, and wildlife trafficking expert.
Got news for you pal, it's perfectly legal to buy and sell lion Taxidermy as long as it's done in the proper way.

 

[gizmo]

And yet still hasn't answered the question on his DG experience. We all hold our breath and wait.

"Trafficking" maybe you could clarify how that fits in this situation? Purchasing a taxidermy lion and bringing it into Jordan is Trafficking?

Way to make friends...(sarcasm intended)
I have hunted at Gizmos place twice and I guarantee that you have no idea what you are talking about, and really suggest you do more homework before opening your mouth and hiding behind your keyboard.

 

[Fred Gunner]

But I’m sorry I do apologize. Clearly the “hunters” here have no problem with farm raised lions being “Hunted in Pens and then sold off to the highest bidder. I saved my whole life to hunt a lion. Then when it was finally within reach. The Lion farming scandal (and Cecil) killed that dream. And BS like this thread will insure average hunters like me will never get the chance to hunt a free range lion the way it should be done like Roosevelt & Hemingway. So when Non-hunters are welcomed with here open arms looking to buy their lion.. I did come to the wrong place and for that I do apologize!

Oh for God's sake Fred. We have members here with silver stars, bronze stars with V devices, and lots of combat patches from a lot of different decades and units. Others have served in security details dodging IEDs for years at a time. We have a large number of dangerous game PH's, several of whom are old enough to have served in the bush war, dodging terries before they were swatting buff and elephant. Several of our former police officers have seen more actual "combat" time than most combat arms troops see in a career. The good ones with any of that kind of experience pretty much universally see no need to throw it in people's faces. All of us appreciate your service, it's just that many of us won't be all that impressed. And all of us tend to be very suspicious of those who are compelled to trot out some badge of honor - particularly when he seems to think that somehow gives him the right to pass judgement on dangerous game ethics and decide for all of us the true purpose of this site. Put your CIB back on the wall, shoot a couple of buff, and then feel free to offer some informed thoughts about what this site should be and what we should be thinking.
