[Blood of Tyrants]

All we are saying is to give medals to the people that EARN them instead of giving them out like Halloween candy. To give one to a person whose contribution was that of crash victim lessens the bravery of all those who really performed heroic acts.

I agree with you. Medals should only go to those that earned them, but the bottom line is, none of us knows what really happened out there, so it's premature to declare she did nothing to warrant the medal(s). And it's stupid for some to blame her for being in the situation she now finds herself in. They were all in the wrong place at the wrong time because their convoy got lost.
