There has been plenty of politics played with the MOH. Clinton got Inouye the MOH. I also have no doubt that the services are also being pressured to do something similar.

There are inconsistencies between the citation as read by Obama and the facts as sworn to by the participants. I don't rule the reporter for being out of hand. He says Williams deserved the MOH but there are factual inconsistencies. And the WH played a role in the write-up.

This Marine was working for a DOD contractor which he acussed of distributing better NOGS to the Paki’s that to our guys in the field.
He was harassed within the company and left. He received a less than glowing reference. Stating that he was “Mentally Unstable” and basically a loose cannon.
He sued
This is payback for outing a DOD contractor

Correction Meyer not Williams

If spectacular (and of verifiable military significance) achievement were anywhere near as important as politics in the award of the MOH, then John Ripley would have one.
