How about a review of Dick Winters' record?
He led an assault on a fortified position overlooking Utah Beach that's used to this day at West Point as a textbook example of how to do so. Yet he was denied the MOH (instead awarded a DSC) because of some silly rule at the time that only one MOH per division could be awarded (the 101st's MOH recipient was a Lt. Col. who led a bayonet charge on D-Day, and was then killed in Market Garden before receiving the award).
Let's look at that one.
