I agree with Greenhat's statement.
I am merely saying that this will in no way stop rubber stamping and ticket punching. That will continue regardless. Any of you who may have stood the monthly A&D ceremonies at the monthly payday revelies during the RVN era can atgtest to that fact. Some deserved more, some deserved what they got, and some deserved less or nothing. It's a fact of life. All I can say is that unless you have first hand knowledge that a particular award was not deserved you must presume it was and respect that individual.
I remember the first SF trooper to get the MOH in Vietnam. CPT Donlon was the team leader and there was a lot of BS controversy over whether he deserved the medal more than others on the team. Today Col. Donlon is a much respected member and benefactor of the SF community.
