Yeah. The Humvee ran into an RPG.

She wasn't parachuting into a hostile zone and saving a downed pilot.


If she was, she'd be up for a Silver Star or better...

That's a horrible comparison. Soldiers should not get Bronze Stars
for wrecking their vehicles.


However, they should (and do) get them for being in a vehicle that gets
shot out from under them with an RPG and holding up well when captured
and tortured. There's also the question of how she did in the original
combat, which we haven't heard a full story on.

You might note that a Bronze Star is only one spot above the Purple
Heart in order of precedence...
