Same DOD that gave Beau Biden (and many others) The Legion of Merit and Bronze Star for lawyering in a combat zone. This man saw actual combat and was wounded and the Army says no to him.
I just think of our WW2 and korean vets....very few came back and got the pstd award....as if what they saw or did was inconsequential....
but now, everybody and their brother gets it....
same as all these medals...
