10. Boorda was a tragedy

But no one should wear a decoration he/she did't EARN, minor or otherwise. It was foolish, and it should've gotten him busted in rank. If he committed suicide over it, that's tragic, but nobody held the gun to his head but himself.

This, by the way, is not just my take, but the take of a retired Lt. Cmdr. in the Navy who was a close friend of mine, and who admired Boorda.
