I'm tired of hearing about people in the military "winning" medals. There is not one person in the military that has ever won a medal. Each and every one was "earned".
Degrading a person in the military by saying that they "won" a medal is not satisfactory. Winning is what you do when you run a race or enter a beauty pageant. When you receive a Medal of Honor, you by god earned it. When you get shot in battle and receive a Purple Heart, you by god earned it.
I believe that I will hurl if I hear another person say that someone won a medal. At the very least, they could say that they were awarded the medal. This would account for some of the automatic medals that are dispersed.
