Sad that the only way to earn a MOH in the GWOT is posthumously. Anyone have an insight as to why?

Can opened. Worms everywhere.

I feel like we need a special forum for the recurring threads that come along every six months or so.

CNN aired the ceremony live yesterday. I had never seen one before. I don't understand why they made such a fuss over Obama awarding his first MOH to an Afghanistan soldier and not an Iraq one...

Caught a quick segment today on CNN talking about the controversy. I guess Secretary Gates was asked about it at a recent news conference and he apparently orrdered several previous cases/awards from Iraq and Afghanistan be reviewed.
