[QUOTE="jim7711, post: 1508804, member: 18264"] I agree that the editing of the show can make the guys on the show look like jerks when they really are good guys. I cannot trash talk any of the guys on the show. They are all military guys and so I'll give them all the benefit of the doubt. Even Ashley, from what I've seen on tv of him I'd have a hard time liking the guy, but this dude has earned a Bronze Star! Here's some stuff I found about him that was published before he was on Top Shot. [COLOR="blue"]Sergeant Spurlin deployed on more than 50 combat missions and served as the subject matter expert on all aircraft and close air support capabilities. He was recognized for countering the improvised explosive device threat to the detachment by coordinating electronic warfare burns along main approach avenues. He also served as an MK-19 ear gunner for detachment operations and was the primary conduit for all fire support for preplanned and emergency close air support. During the Waturpor Valley operation, where the enemy was closing in on the assault element, he used the AC-130 gunship to neutralize the enemy threat, allowing the assault element to block access to the objective out of contact. He also controlled close air support as the detachment engaged enemy attacking of a second objective. The ordnance dropped by the close air support under his control destroyed 10 to 15 enemy elements engaging coalition forces. During Operation Stalking Wolf, he identified and destroyed a cave complex that was used by enemy surveillance operatives that observed and attacked coalition forces.[/COLOR] Does that mean that Ashley is a real nice guy? I don't know, but I have a hard time talking bad about a guy who has done for his country what Ashley has done. [/QUOTE]
