I beg to differ, flying into any LZ that is under fire has the prerequisite risk called for.

The Victoria Cross is the highest award for bravery in British and Commonwealth forces - generally seen as equivalent to the United States’ Medal of Honor.

Do you believe every pilot who ever flew into a landing zone under fire should have received the Medal of Honor? Or do you believe it should be reserved for the extraordinary acts for which is bestowed?
