The Washington Post Goes Dumpster Diving With New Attack on Pete Hegseth's Military Service

Not content with only most people hating them, The Washington Post has decided to go dumpster diving with its latest attack on Pete Hegseth. In a piece entitled "Bronze Stars, like those Hegseth earned, are common among military officers," Alex Horton cites "experts" who essentially say the awards aren't impressive.
Truly, there is no bottom for America's storied press.

Awardees of the meritorious service medal are predominantly military officers like Hegseth, data provided by the military shows. While many officers have risked their lives on the battlefield, the majority of fighting and exposure to danger is performed by the enlisted troops they command.
Well, thank you Washington Post. Where would any of us be without your esteemed journalists letting us know that Bronze Stars are useless and not worthy of mention when discussing a person's qualifications? What's even more insulting is that Horton insinuates Hegseth wasn't exposed to "danger," but in the very next sentence is forced to admit he did serve in combat.
Hegseth also received a Combat Infantryman Badge, which is awarded when infantry soldiers and officers engage an enemy in combat.
