William "Kyle" Carpenter lost most of his jaw and an eye when he fell on a grenade to shield a fellow Marine from the blast. His body shattered, one lung collapsed, the Marine lance corporal was nearly given up for dead after that 2010 Afghanistan firefight.

Then he spent 2½ years in a hospital as doctors worked to rebuild his body

And for several years the "brass" tried to dismiss demands for this award - of which he was very deserving. Semper Fi!

What logical reasoning could go into denying this hero?...

There was a proposal for that but so many people threw a fit the pentadrones squashed the idea.

Are you kidding? Drone pilots aren't risking anything but a little time at work that could be spent at the beach.
I can't believe anyone even proposed such a thing.

Good share Eric, and glad to see the results of Carpenter's resilience.

It's been said that in the heat of battle you are not fighting for God, country or family….but the brothers at your shoulder.
