First, what that crew probably needed most is medical and financial support, and if they got hurt or killed, the knowledge that their families will be taken care of. More worth than any damn medal. Never understood people's obessions with medals and monuments.

Second, there are some names on that list that would cause me to reject that Prize if I would happen to win it for something. Wouldn't like to be mentioned in one breath together with them.

And third, I do not like that the Prize today often is given to encourgae certain agendas or processes - a reward in advance. The commitee should restrict itself to rewarding what has been accheived, not deciding of what it would like to see in the future to take place. They should not decide the future, that is not their job, and should not make policies.

For that reason, today the Nobel Peace Prize is worth almost nothing imo - too opportunistic it is.
