But the greatest insult to our troops in the field, and to the officers who lead them, may be a new battlefield medal designed by the Obama team. It is called the Courageous Restraint Medal and is awarded to soldiers and Marines who demonstrate uncommon restrain in combat by not firing their weapons even when they feel threatened by the enemy. Would we be surprised to learn that the preponderance of these medals were awarded posthumously? McChrystal must have found that to be an insanity.

There currently isn't a Courageous Restraint Medal

It was suggested by a British Major Gen Nick Carter ISAF not the Obama team

What I find to be insanity is how the internet and blogland can become a real test for the BS meter where facts are made up and published to suit the agenda of the author.
