Single handedly turning a battle is Silver Star terriroty.
single handedly?
As result of that engagement ...
Staff Sergeant Tim Nein also received a Silver Star , [upgraded to Distinguished Service Cross].
Platoon medic Jason Mike also received a Silver Star.
Hester and Nein assaulted and cleared the trenches in a combined effort,
while Mike used both an M4 and M249 in his effort to defend.
Who writes such skewed media release narratives that put the female gender in lights whilst putting males in the shadows?
clearly its not written in the spirit of gender equality.
