If I met a high ranking officer with the Bronze Star but no battle stars and
a sgt. with the Air Medal but no Bronze Star, the greater honor goes to the man
with the Air Medal. Battle honors go above all other honors..

Be careful there. I received 5 Air Medals for chasing Soviet Bear bombers
out of the Iceland MADIZ (100 missions). I don't feel much like a warrior :-)
