This may start an argument but here goes. A USMC pal told me that the army gave most of their men in Nam the Bronze Star just for being there. He did two combat tours in Nam and said in the marines you had to earn it. Hey....I'm just reporting what I was told. If you are US Army and can refute this please do it for my edification as well. I'd like a clarification.
