This is silly. It's a common wartime situation. Everyone who went to Fallujah should get a medal, if this is the criterion.
I only imply that the man was doing his job and doing it well. Yes, what he did was a common wartime action but if he is going to get crucified for his actions by the left, I'd go the opposite way and gladly say pin a medal on him.
And for whats its worth, I think all our boys over there deserve recognition.
