The military susally reads the citation to you when they present the medal to you.

These poor military guys are getting beat up, just because they want to do the right thing.

Right - the citation gets read to you, often for the first time, when you are given the medal. Often, you are not really in any position to even much listen to it (At attention in front of a huge group, mostly hoping to God you look good and don't collapse) much less critique it, and it kidn of flies by. Looking at the wording of the citation later on is seldom high on your list of things to do, and correcting minor errors in the wording is even lower on the lise, even if you ever do look at the citation.
