...then you probably won't be awarded the Medal of Honor.
“From World War I through Vietnam,” The Army Times claimed in April 2009, “the rate of Medal of Honor recipients per 100,000 service members stayed between 2.3 (Korea) and 2.9 (World War II). But since the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, only five Medals of Honor have been awarded, a rate of 0.1 per 100,000 — one in a million.”
Why this state of affairs exists is the point of the article. Well worth reading in full.

It's inconceivable to me that these chair bound frauds can deny a hero his due. Then again, during the long period of peace between the end of Vietnam and the start of our War Against the Islamofascists, a lot of coupon clipping, ticket punching, careerists, rose to high ranking positions in the military.
It appears that for them at least, CYA has replaced Semper Fi as their motto.
