Yes, that's true. But, it is fair to speculate on this forum, as that is what we do 99% of the time. Also, it is just as fair to speculate that she did not deserve the medal as it is to speculate that she did.
My speculation is that even in the best scenario, her actions did not rise above many others in her unit, and certainly not over many others in other units. It is plain to see that she has thus in all liklihood been issued a medal because of her celebrity status.
