Why are people on this thread blaming the ‘Navy’ as though anyone on active duty had a hand in this.
The award was signed by SecNav Donald C Winter - GWB’s SecNav since 2006, however it should be noted that the award was given March 5th - after GWB left, but before Winter departed. It is unclear at this point whether this award was Winter’s idea or if the Obama administration was involved.
It’s my opinion that the award was completely the doing of Winter tho I could be mistaken.
