Not one word in his Medal of Honor citation that he was inadvertently left behind on the mountain top, where for up to an hour he killed countless insurgents and died when he ran out of bullets. The Navy held up his MOH for years because they didn’t want it coming out that they left him behind. But that’s exactly what happened. And in the end the Navy got their way. Unless someone is familiar with the operation you’ll never know the true story.
“died when he ran out of bullets”... says it all.
Yeah, its surprising he got the Medal, considering how bad it makes the PTB look.
