The heroic acts that earned a former British soldier a medal have been called into question by some of those who served alongside him, days before he plans to sell his medal collection.

Doesn't look good, especially as only one grenade is reported to have been heard, and one of his was missing when he returned. I wonder who made the report recommending him and whether the reporter was actually present at the relevant time.

I think some investigation needs to be done. Perhaps the medal holder is legitimate, perhaps not.
The most shocking fact about war is that its victims and its instruments are individual human beings, and that these individual beings are condemned by the monstrous conventions of politics to murder or be murdered in quarrels not their own. Aldous Huxley

It's kind of silly to investigate whether or not a Clinton is lying. That's sort of like investigating why the sky is blue. Banzai_Cat
