I think I'm going to be sick! She was given the Bronze Star for being knocked unconscious while trying to escape an ambush! THIS is what the army has come to. GODS I am so glad I am no longer a member of that organization.

I wonder how she feels being used like this. Does she even realize what a pawn she's become? I don't have anything against her because of receiving the medal. She didn't put herself in for the medal I am sure. But if the circumstances were reversed, I would refuse to accept the medal. I really would.
