Rather than smiling at recieving such a medal, I actually felt my shoulders sink. In no way did I deserve a MOH for that patrol. A Bronze Star or Silver Star would have sufficed.
I honestly cannot remember how many times I've gotten the medal of honor, the game hands them out so often. Just keep in mind that it is a game, and the medal awards are not at all realistic! I mean, it's not as if you get court-martialed and disgraced if you really screw up either :p

I basically pay no attention to the medals.
