The first USAAF airman to be awarded the MOH urinated on a fire in his aircraft.

He was a ball-turret gunner. Climbed back up into the fuselage after an engagement just in time to see a waist gunner unsuccessfully bailout (hit the stabilizer).

He dumped the burning ammo boxes, peed on fire to put it out, and took care of the remaining, wounded, waist-gunner.

I'm pretty sure Miss Meth-Head will be getting awards of a completely different nature.

I bet ball turret gunners had really big bladders...
