However, Cleland did receive the Silver Star for an earlier
action. He was an active combat experienced soldier.

Bull****, Cleland got the silver star for being fragged, or dropped the
grenade himself.


Tarver, once again you don't know what you are talking about. Cleland got
his
silver star for actions four days before the grenade fumble. You don't get
silver stars for incidents of fratricide.

Politics always plays into awards, Dan.
