Well especially after seeing the picture of Obama giving the ranch owner an award in 2015. I would love to know who all was in Mr Scalia’s hunting party.

Poindexter seems like a standup guy.

Vietnam-era captain campaigns for soldiers' recognition

--- snip ---

Poindexter was reading the book, which included an account of a daring rescue and ferocious battle that he had led, when he realized that few of his men had received the medals he had requested for them and they had earned.

“I was devastated,” says Poindexter, whose tour of duty ended shortly after the bloody battle. “I was leveled. I was on the floor.”

The year was 2003, and Poindexter immediately filed new paperwork for the men of Troop A, 11th Armored Cavalry. But even then, only 14 new medals were approved. All told, about 20 of 150 members of the deserving crew were recognized.

It was his bad luck to have 0bama make the award.

I read in one article they were invited by Pointdexter, Scalia had one friend there, and Pointdexter paid for everyone. Weird.
