I knew guys with bronze stars and stuff who would never say what they did, Usually something stupid (adrenaline kicks in) That they aren’t particularly proud of.

I know another guy that has done more submarine spec ops than any man in American history.

He has no dolphins LoL
He was too busy on missions for all that hoo haw

We all pull our weight
