28. My point is that you shouldn't get a medal for being part

of a screw up. It's not like she saved the lives of all or some of the soldiers in her unit. She rolled on to the wrong road, got shot and taken prisoner. It's also not like she saved the lives of the others captures by risking hers. I just have a huge problem with the military handing out medals like candy now. She served honorably, but it doesn't deserve a medal.
