exactly, and that is the way it should be. if jessica had immediatley thrown down her weapon and put her hands in the air, she could have been called a coward. the fact that she resisted by firing her weapon at the enemy takes her to a level above that but there are people here advocating the congressional medal of honor. there are several steps between being a coward and a superhero. Jessica may be deserving of some sort of medal, possibly even the medal of honor, but the facts so far reported "fired her weapon until she was out of ammo" do not justify anything above the level of a bronze star, assuming that the facts are as reported.
