Hmm medal happy hey look here http://www.army.mil/cmh-pg/moh1.htm then tell me they JUST give them away. Maybe you need to not let your alligator mouth overload your canary A$$.
And it is NOT the CMOH it is the Medal of Honor. It is awarded by the President in the name of Congress. |
Sure, have a look at this then

I wasn't knocking the US military, just stating the obvious fact that more medals are available in the US. Simply look at the chest of any US general compared to your average UK general and I'm sure that you will see why I have reached this conclusion. Also, look in your "CareerTrack UPC" and it clearly says CMOH.
When Andy McNab left the SAS after serving at Hereford for 9 yrs he was the highest decorated serving soldier with only a DCM (distinguished conduct medal) and a MM (military medal) to his name. I rest my case.
Oh, and by the way, it's ARSE not ASS if you wouldn't mind
