“Conspicuous gallantry” is the key word in all of them. They get rejected so easily if they have bad or inaccurate writing in them, that it takes decades and Pentagon as well as congressional approval including thousands of people throughout the process reading the citations on the award before getting the stamp of approval.

No one normal in regular combat earns a Medal of Honor.
