May I assume you have a background in such military intelligence gathering????
No, you may not assume whether I do or do not any more than you can assume what my opinion on that medal award is. The simple fact is that I did not divulge what my opinion regarding that matter was in that post or any other post.
As noted in other posts, I questioned Smedley as to what point he was trying to make with his "lobbying" remarks. I have no idea what "lobbying" Smedley is for or against or why he even brought up such an issue.
Since Smedley posted this example without editorial comment, I asked him if he subscribed to either of the two major opinion camps in that matter in hopes of trying to figure out what point he is trying to argue.
My opinion is that the merits of that particular award cannot be argued with any credibility by any of us on this forum as none of us on this forum had a need to know, and therefore don't know, that particular crew's rules of engagement.
