Kyle knew, as all current and former military know, The Medal of Honor, is NOT a popularity contest award.

I'm not so sure. It's been proven that he lied repeatedly to promote himself.

He claimed that he punched Jesse Ventura in the face. In fact, Ventura never even met him, and Kyle's estate lost the slander suit that Ventura brought.
Kyle also claimed that he and another person sat at the top of the Superdome in New Orleans during Katrina, and sniped looters. Umm...no.
He also claimed that he killed 2 men who tried to carjack him in Texas. No evidence has ever been found for this.
Strange how none of this made it into the film.
Given this blatant dishonesty and lack of character, I think he'd jump at the chance to claim a medal he didn't earn.
