This is April, 2014, and the action for which he is to be recognized happened in 2007. Seven years. Are you kidding me?
It takes seven years for pompadoured bureaucrats in the Pentagon who have never heard a shot fired in anger to wring their hands and consider the possible political implications if they make the wrong decision. Oh, the pressures weighing heavily on these giants of mediocrity. How can they bear it? But, somehow, in seven short years they have decided that valor on the battlefield ought to be recognized. These slime do not deserve to breath the same planetary atmosphere as this man, but you can bet that they will be standing tall to be included in the pictures when he visits after the White House ceremony.
MOH decisions can wait. Too many more important social engineering actions to deal with. /s
