I already hate myself for saying this but having read the official accounts of his actions I find them to be very brave and definitely worthy of respect... but the justification of giving him a Medal of Honor for this just doesn't work. If you award him the honor based on the entire ambush then his whole squad obviously acted impressively, but if you award him the honor based solely on his lone actions of running out to rescue the other soldier then it just doesn't remotely compare with the standard that seems to have been set for the Medal of Honor.
The problem is that either his entire unit deserves commendation or you have to narrow down the scope of what actions you're looking at so much that it becomes silly to award a Medal of Honor for it. I wouldn't have seen any problem with giving his entire unit the Distinguished Service Cross or something but it just seems wrong the way this is being justified.
Regardless of all the politics behind that though Mr. Fischer is very loudly announcing that he creates a vacuum to the entire world.
