I Wonder sometimes if things like this aren't thrown to the public as a PR Spectacle.
"Look how wonderfully brave our soldiers are." Kind of thing.
Not that they aren't. I'm Just wondering why More soldiers don't get them.
I'm sure there have been a few dozen other worthy.

I actually have wondered that myself, if certain people have gotten certain awards just to boost someone else's political career (I am not implying this soldier did not deserve the MOH). I am however implying that piece of shit politicians disrespectfully use military members to advance their own careers through PR. I also wonder how many military members deserve medals of valor but don't get them because it isn't on someone else's agenda.

Maybe that should be for another thread, I would like to keep the honor of what that soldier did in this thread.
