Tommy,

I'm sure that there are absolutely cases where awards were inflated. However, I'm afraid that your friends assertion comes off to me as a "walks uphill both ways" claim, i.e., that it was harder in the Marine Corps than the Army to get a BSM, thereby impugning all BSMd awarded to Army personnel. I don't like claims that detract from individuals' accomplishments.
