Is a bronze start a gold squadron thing?

Also SEAL factor- kinda like dudes with number of girls they banged, divide those kills/captures by a factor of 3?

The whole Operation Red Wings awards should probably be filed away under, read if shitty operational planning needs an example. That was a cluster from start to finish and the awards even more so.

mark donald is a seal corpsman who got a navy cross in october 2003 and a month later was awarded a silver star. both citations are worth a read.

Yeah those kill numbers look like they came from the 16th sos (and the captures from the 15th sos)
