I applaud her honesty. So why the Bronze Star?

I think all the POWs got Bronzes this time out. Note that hers did not have the V device for valor.

Bronze star isn't a big deal in combat. Remember, the lady WAS IN COMBAT, bullets flying around her. Nobody has put her up for a Silver Star or a Medal of Honor. She is a severly wounded vet.

She is a personable and honest young lady, and I am glad that she is getting the good press. More power to her. America need more kids like her.

I agree. I remember while I was in the Marine Corp you would receive a Bronze Star for things like:

Taking out a Machine Gun position while under fire.
Taking out a Tank from 15 feet away while under fire.
Taking out a sniper while under fire.

Good question … I believe the Bronze Star is awarded “for heroism.”
