I agree.

Maybe your right, maybe not. Since you where not there and as far as I know no one has told the story how can you be sure she did not do things to earn it? I think we would be best off not judging things without know what we are judging.

I'm guessing you didnt read the report did you rabbit. Or the reasons they gave for giving her the bronze star.

Didn't they give Montgomery a Knighthood? All he did was wait on Patton to get the work done.

I saw "The Bronze Star is given for meritorious service in combat". That is hardly a description Vulcan. Did I miss more? If I'm not missing anything then there is no description of what occured that's being published at least not in this article. All I'm saying is that I reserve judgement on others unless I'm sure I have all the facts.

I want to clarify my stance on the matter...
