With the current practice of reducing awards, will anyone ever come close or surpass Audie Murphy for most decorated?

SPC, Murphy's story is exceptional, but MSG Cunningham is spot on about LTC Hackworth. His career spanned three wars and is impressive by any standard. To the point about award recommendations being downgraded, in Hackworth's book "Steel my Soldiers' Hearts", it is suggested that for his actions during his second tour in Vietnam with 4/39th a recommendation was made to award him the MOH; however, it was later downgraded to the DSC. Based on this account of a truly authentic American hero, we can safely assume that degradation of awards has been with us for a while. I don't think that we will ever resolve the problem to our satisfaction, but I fully appreciate your feelings regarding the injustice in the system. I have seen on more than one occasion that a member's status either unfairly elevated or diminished their award recommendation. The best we can do as leaders is advocate as strongly as our position allows when we witness performance that warrants special recognition.

I didn't realize it was a contest.
