They mention another soldier in her company who received a Silver Star. Maybe that was the medic.

Yeah, but the Silver Star probably went to a male soldier. For some reason, I just KNEW this article was going to be about a female soldier. The media don't bother to write stories about males that get medals.

How many Americans know that the Medal of Honor has been awarded twice for action in Iraq?

"Sgt. Leigh Ann Hester, who was given the Silver Star."

Apparently all the men were cowering and these 2 soldiers did all the fighting.

I am not denigrating the service of this soldier. I am confused as to why she would participate in this agenda driven article which is obviously meant to cast negative aspersions on the war.
