Who and/or what do you believe? "Official" published accounts or eyewitness testimony? The official,on file in the Marine Corps records say that a certain colonel received his silver star for blah,blah,etc action on a certain operation. I read it with interest because I was standing right there and no such thing happened. Apparently S-2 decided to "improve" on our after action debriefing...so I can understand the reluctance to count on any one source for accurate accounts of anything.I guess history is written by the winners and,of course, they have an agenda too.
