They often were convoy commanders on missions but my platoon sergeant was never hit once but he was an excellent leader got a bronze star for basically being a platoon Sergeant for a whole deployment.

You're right they are not easy to get but if someone has a high rank or an important job within a company they get bronze stars. I don't know anyone who got a Silver star though.
