Meh, he's a f*ckin' Marine, I'm sure he couldn't spell it either.

I'm glad we've started being a little less stingy with these things lately. They're certainly not something to throw around but early on in OEF/OIF there were a lot of awesome dudes doing awesome things and they didn't get the MOH when maybe they should have although certainly they didn't care whether or not they got it, tribute to how awesome those dudes are. Everyone who's been awarded it recently has fully deserved it.

Most people I know don't even know how to order a decor 6 from the MPF for an achievement medal, so this never surprised me one bit.

I agree. Senior military leadership was ridiculously stingy with these awards for several years. Glad to see the reins loosened, and guys who deserve them can actually get them.
