I’m getting tired of all these MOH citations for dead people.

Idiot

Couldn’t agree more.

I somewhat agree with his sentiment. Being awarded the MOH has almost become impossible unless you’re dead. There are plenty of guys in the military that have done things in Iraq or Afghanistan that would have gotten them a MOH if they were in WWII or Korea. It’s gotten to the point that the Army doesn’t even want to consider a MOH citation unless the person is dead. That’s not the intent of the medal. It’s for actions “above and beyond the call of duty.” It’s not supposed to be a “dead man’s medal.”
