I just think a NAM even with a V just doesn't seem like its a fitting award for the act of valor preformed..

Well I ain't first class
But I ain't white trash
I'm wild and a little crazy too
I have seen a lot of things in my life time.
That is why I walk the line I walk.

the V itself is pretty badass, and there is nothing in the article saying that he won't pull a bigger medal down the road after the prolonged vetting process that is normally required for those awards from bronze star and up.

I got a NAM for teaching math.

Dude better get more than that.

Corpsmen in the Navy face more perilous situations than SEALS in many cases. The best of those guys are amazing. They are also almost universally insane and creepy.

And if it would have been a Marine he would have gotten a Page 11 and NJP for taking his hands off his rifle.

I'm pretty sure they are more medal of honor winners from navy corpsman then any other job rating. Shouldn't be surprised some have one the medal of valor.

My dad's bronze star has a V. I asked him once if it was for "Valor" and he chuckled and said that they told him that it was for "Victory" (he was a SeaBee, so it wasn't for combat per se, but whatever cool thing he did while building stuff in country).

heroism in war always seems like an act of stupidity
