[edit] Age and Season 10

"(In the season 10 episode Bounty it was stated that he was in the class of '87)"

Season ten hasn't aired yet, and won't for several more weeks, so I'm wondering how somebody could have written the above sentence (Unless whoever wrote it was on the crew of the show). I'm removing until somebody can explain how an episode that hasn't aired yet is being used as a reference. JBK405 21:25, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

That was me. I added that. Look on gateworld.net, it was released a while back that this is his year. I read the new episode going ons. http://www.gateworld.net/sg1/s10/10x7.shtml

I have reverted it back. Faris b 04:36, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

I'm pretty sure that gateworld.net doesn't count; I've seen many, many pages where information from gateworld was either removed or at least marked as not concrete. If it's staying in it needs to be marked that the episode hasn't aired and, as a result, it's not quite canon yet. JBK405 03:52, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Medal of Honor

I have to point out that they never actually say that Mitchell was awarded the Medal of Honor in the show. Stop removing the note. I'm pretty sure that the uniforms are cannon. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.106.135.25 (talk) 20:49, 2 March 2007 (UTC).

IN THE FLASHBACK OF YEAR 09e.1 SAM TOLD MITCHELL, "THE CONGRESIONAL MEDAL OF HONOR IS THE HIGHEST MEDAL BESTOWED ON A US CITIZEN SERVING IN THE MILITARY, ON BEHALF OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES....." THEN IT FLASHES BACK TO THE PRESENT, IT SHOULD ALSO BE POINTED OUT THAT GEN. O'NEILL TOLD MITCHELL IN A FLASHBACK "WHEN YOU GET WELL, YOU CAN HAVE ANYTHING YOU WANT, WELL ALMOST ANYTHING, NOT ANYTHING BUT ANY POSTING YOU WANT." A MEMBER OF THE MILITARY THAT IS BESTOWED THE MOH IS ONE OF THE FEW PEOPLE IN THE USA THAT CAN PICK HIS/HER POSTING, AND THEY HAVE TO GIVE IT TO THEM. THE THING THAT BUGGED ME IS MITCHELL DID ONE HEROIC THING A ALMOST DIED SAVING SG-1, AND HE WAS BESTOWED THE HIGHEST HONOR, THE US GIVES OUT, SAM AND JACK (AND T'ELC, IF HIS "1ST PRIME" RANK TRANSLATED INTO A US MILITARY RANK OF PRIVATE 1ST CLASS OR HIGHER) SAVED THE WORLD AND THE UNIVERSE MORE TIME THEN JACK REMEMBERS, FORGED THE TREATY WITH THE ASGUARD, NOX, JAFFA NATION (SORT OF) AND TOK'RA AND JACK IS ONLY INVITED TO THE WHITE HOUSE FOR DINNER? AS TO WHY THE ACTOR IS NOT WEARING THE MOH IS BECAUSE IT IS SINGLED OUT IN FEDERAL LAW TO PROTECT IT FROM BEING IMITATED OR PRIVATELY SOLD. MISUSE OF THE MEDAL, INCLUDING UNAUTHORIZED MANUFACTURE OR WEAR, IS PUNISHABLE BY FINE AND IMPRISONMENT. THAT SAID HOWEVER THE SHOW HAS THE FULL SUPPORT OF THE USAF SO IT BEGS THE QUESTION, WHY THEY DID NOT MAKE A "BLANK" ONE FOR THE SHOW (JUST THE RIBBON PART NOT THE MEDAL) CHASEMARC

Medal of Honor recipients do not "Pick His/Her posting". If he is still a member of the US Military he is still required to follow the orders he is given, the DOD is not required to give him any job he wants. The men who have recieved the MOH performed extraordinary acts of courage and bravery under fire, however they still, if alive and in the military, were required to follow orders.In my opinion Mitchell's actions in the show do not amount to "Conspicuous Gallantry and Intrepidity...", that said, Mitchell is not seen wearing the medal or ribbon and it has never been directly stated that he received it, until that changes let's leave the Medal of Honor line out. Last but not least, it would be pretty ridiculous for Apophis' Supreme Military Commander (Teal'c) to be equivalent to an Army E-3, which, by the way, is near the bottom of enlisted ranks.

true but Teal'c is not a human and his service to the USAF as is his arrival on Earth is classified, so he can not hold a rank that would be "commisioned" by the congress (Officer's ranks) he could be enlisted and would not raise questions about his past, or lack or a past. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.163.23.77 (talk) 17:52, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
