We had a lot of senior personnel put themselves in for awards like the bronze star after the Gulf War. It's funny though, they did not put any lower enlisted in for anything. These were the same senior personnel who sat in a tent while we dug foxholes and then had a backhoe dig theirs. They were also the same senior personal who road marched us into a minefield among other brilliant maneuvers. My dad told me when I was a kid his VN medals along with about $.50 were worth a cup of coffee.
