i come from a military family, mainly of officers. they are all taught that if you fail, its your fault not your men/women fault. of course my family history is from the soviet military not the united states
Yeah, that's what #4 said...

Of course this is for any O-1 (Ensign or 2nd Lt. depending upon the branch, as far as the US military goes) as things progress you will find that some fade a little while new ones come to the surface.

And the commander is also blamed for everything.

None of the ones that got the medals wore them afterwards, wearing it isnt the point.

« on: April 07, 2008, 08:02:55 PM »Interesting thoughts. Perhaps he may not of wanted a medal, but still, it would of been nice for him to get one all the same.
