I can recall being on a monthly company parade whilst on exchange with the US Army Schofield barracks Hawaii. They handed out Meritorious service medals for things such as having the cleanest weapon in the armoury , the cleanest vehicle in the motor pool , cleanest boots all sorts of mundane crap. It then dawned on me that the young men I had been surrounded by whose chests were dripping in medals were not a collection of John Rambo clones at all. At least we are not going down that path . these unit citations have been awarded for such things as the Battle of Long Tan so they are not common or mundane.Gotta love the septics they do love a parade

Yes,I could never understand the ease with which members of the US military force could obtain military medals.
