One does not “earn” nor does one “win”, the Medal of Honor.
One is “awarded” and one “receives”. It is not a set of criteria that can be completed and thus “earn” the medal. Nor is it a contest where individuals compete and there is a winner.
It is an award that is given by a grateful nation to an individual who shows curage and sacrifice beyond all reasonable expectations while facing the enemy and serving this nation.
BS. If you don't think a recipient of the Medal of Honor has earned it then you are most likely the by-product of an outcome based education system.
I just wanted everyone to know a little bit about this brave man.
Sorry if you don’t approve of my choice of words. I’m basically clueless. You win and earned my apology. Feel better?
