...The United States Department of Defense Pompously Self-Important Process-Focused Medal of Mostly Posthumous Honor Processing Agency.
How else to explain this?
Corporal Ben, of the Australian Special Air Service, is awarded the Victoria Cross for actions in... wait for it:
October 2010.
Staff Sergeant Guinta was awarded his Medal of Honor (the first one to a *living* recipient for actions post-Vietnam) in September 2010, for actions that took place in October 2007.
Something is wrong at the Pentagon. There.is.simply.no.good.reason. it takes this long.
For any particular given award, possibly. But this is a pattern.
A pox on the bureaucrats.
And a hearty "Good on ya, mate!" to Corporal Ben.
