the Medal of Honor for his actions at Combat Outpost Keating. I watched an hour long interview with him on CNN a few nights ago titled ""The Undaunting Courage of Clint Romesha". Jake Tapper conducted the interview with Clint and also wrote the book "The Outpost" which chronicles the battle for COP Keating. I'm not one to judge who deserves a Medal of Honor, but if this guy would not have received the MOH it would be a tragedy. Do a search on his name and read what he did on one day. It's incredible he lived to tell the story. If you get to see the Jake Tapper interview I mentioned you can't help but feel for this guy. He still feels responsible for the deaths of many of his fellow soldiers and it goe's without saying he is haunted by that day. He left the Army because of what happened at COP Keating.
