'He Didn't Save My Life': Veterans Question Rep. Cory Mills' Bronze Star

[haele]

10. I've heard of this happening, especially with an REMF's "pet"..

On his few sane days, my uncle would rage against a few Seoul based Army ambulance crews that had someone at HQ re-write some other unit's incountry post reps so it looked like their crew risked life and limb to cross the river and make a MASH run.
His Marine ambulance crew never received a star for a particular incident they participated in (three wounded in the run, he ended up being the only survivor at the end) that ended up going to an Army ambulance crew that was at the safe transfer point.
It all depends who writes the final incident or action report.
