I love this. He had to deal with a POS chain of command that buried his MoH because he called out their incompetence. It is sad that I have seen this scenario play out more than once where crappy leaders have ended the careers of good officers. I am pretty sure he is going to get picked up BZ for the rest of his career.

Nice to know that just because someone is the rare living MoH recipient it does not stop his decision to serve.

What a great news story! I think if you love something, and you still are able to do it, you should. He is a great American and an example for all!
