I have a beef with the Army CIB. Those without an infinitry MOS can't wear it. That means those soldiers from the 507th Maint (among others in Iraq) that took and returned fire can't show their experience. This is true for all conflicts, but everytime something like this pops up, I get a little pissed.
Support troops outnumber infintry by about 5:1. Alot of those support soldiers fight just as hard as the ground pounders to keep them supplied with beans and bullets. There should be some kind of recognition, other than a Purple Heart and a Theater Ribbon for those non "11'S" that engage the enemy in a firefight.
