The reason I ask is I have a former Soldier asking me about a valor award that his chain of command dissaproved. What I'd like to show him is the number of Special Forces Soldiers that fought in Viet Nam and how many of them were awarded ARCOMs w/V, BSMs w/V, etc. I think that showing him some stats in regards to this might show him that just because he feels deserves an award, there are men who slugged out with numerically superior forces on multiple occasions, and were awarded a CIB and BSM for service and they drove on.

This has gone on throughout the GWOT, many SF soldiers have seen this, it went on before as well. It will go on in the future. We don't fight for awards rather something more important.
