I think if you are going to talk about Winter's exploits then the one that impressed me more was the recon and prisoner patrol late in the series. I forget where they were but they had made a patrol accross a canal on the previous night and succeeded in getting some information and prisoners back. Their commander then said to do it again the following night, what a moron. In the face of this task Winters brought his men together and briefed them on the repeat of the exercise. At the conclusion he told them all to go find somewhere to get some sleep and told his intelligence officer to create an after action report that detailed their effort and indicated that they had failed to gather any information.

That is heroism and gallentry and dedication to our men! That is the kind of effort that should be awarded and recognized.
