I don't think it is that simple. There were many cases of individuals receiving medals they didn't deserve in Vietnam. It's probably happened in all wars. But, what is going on here, on this thread, brings discredit on Free Republic. Many of the posts I have read are uninformed and childish.

"Many of the posts I have read are uninformed and childish."
Not to mention based on politics more than fact. The line of reasoning that you can pick and choose which medal recipients are worthy based on actions/politics after the fact really don't make any logical sense. That is unless you allow the same reasoning to be applied to those that agree with you. It's a very destructive way to go if you think service to your country means something.
