The frequency of the awarding of this decoration has been on the increase since Vietnam. It means virtually nothing today.
The DOD took the black beret away from the Rangers and gave it to anyone. And there was talk after the Lynch rescue of awarding her the Medal of Honor in some sick, real-life, life-imitates-art perversion of Courage Under Fire.
Just another indication of dumbing down the standards of excellence to enhance everyone's self-esteem.
OK, well, if you say so...
If you've earned one, or a higher award, fine - otherwise your comment means "virtually nothing".
