Investigation shows the real reason the Army denied a soldier the Medal of Honor

This is a pretty interesting look behind the curtains of how the MoH is awarded. I think that what makes this worth a look is not that the MoH was denied despite the recommendations of virtually every Army and Marine GO in the chain of command - but that it was downgraded to the Silver Star rather than a DSC . The comments about the expectations of an NCO vs what would be expected of a lower ranking Soldier seems pretty off base to me IMHO....
