Nothing, nothing so see here, folks. I would never say something controversial or confrontational like, "YOU ARE EXACTLY RIGHT!" because that might offend somebody sensitive, gentle, and special who just might be gunning for me at this time. Blah blah, yadda yadda, happy happy joy joy. I'm OK you're OK. Move along. Everything is beautiful and good and above criticism--especially those things that certain people hold very special and dear; things that I, of course, would never criticise again. blah blah, yadda... uhm... etcetera.

No lower than "I was there medals" awarded to most officer corp, usually on the backs of their people.

All I know is that there were several females in my unit that were awarded the Bronze Medal during Gulf War I and all they did was check ID cards at the VIP locations.
