Why wasn’t Radar put in for a commendation after running into the minefield?
I’m rewatching Season 4, Episode 2 (“Welcome to Korea” - Part 2), and something stood out to me. After the Korean girl steps on a mine, Radar runs straight into the minefield to try to rescue her.
Considering he knowingly entered an active minefield to help an injured civilian, wouldn’t that have warranted at least being put in for some kind of commendation or award for valor?
Obviously it’s a TV show and not everything gets followed up on, but from an actual Army perspective, would Radar’s actions have qualified him for anything?
