Come on......an Admiral doesn't sign off on things without being thoroughly briefed..... and btw, the Vietnam War was handing out medals like candy.....the troops needed all the morale boosting they could get.

I have another nephew who got a Silver Star in Nam for, as he tells it, "pulling a dumb ass Colonel back to safety"....
