Hey did you come up with some Joes that deserve to win the CMH? I am having a hard time coming up with anyone from the team. I thought I would be able to do it fairly easy, but no

I mentioned Roadblock's actions in issues #101-105 a few posts back. That was one of the most courageous actions I can recall by a member of the Joe team in the Marvel Run other than the countless exploits by Snake-Eyes... let's face it, that was a little over done.
In the DDP run, Recondo did some great things. Spirit showed real courage while on special assignment. Can anyone think of anything else?

Otherwise, what insignia would you put on it? I don't think it would be appropriate for an Infantry Officer to have "trash talk" painted on his equipment. You should know better, Jon. What did they teach you in the Air Force? I believe it was Drill Sgt. Brian McDaniels who once said, "The issued equipment of an Infantry soldier is not to be painted like the side of some Air Force aircraft or some Navy pilot's helmet - That looks like a billboard for a diseased whore house. That is the work of an individual with too much time on his hands. This is not the Post Office or the Girl Scouts. This is the Army, and the Army is going to teach Privates how to be warriors and killers who work as a team, not to think like hippie individuals doing an art project and smoking refer." Jon, you should listen to Drill Sgt. McDaniels.

It takes real courage to wear a shirt like that into combat.
Real Courage ;)

Roadblock in 101-105 is the only one I can think of off the top of my head that went beyond the call of duty. Even most of Snake-Eyes stuff wasn't that worthy. The Joes were supposed to be a couple steps above the rest of the military, so their actions have to be that much greater to earn the award over the other Joes.
So Roadblock is about it... Cool Breeze getting one? He sacrificed himself to save Stalker. Mangler from Special Missions? He carried a wounded Lightfoot so they could complete the mission and stayed behind so the others could get away.

Mainframe and Flash in the Devil's Due run. Probably Doc as well when he tries to cover the injured joes but most die anyway. Wild Bill probably deserve one just for always sticking his neck out.

Yeah, the whole Snake-Eyes/Scarlet/Storm Shadow love triangle thing was terrible, and I think it's one of the main contributing factors that lead to the end of the Marvel run. I mean they were gone all the time... Hello? Don't they have morning formation for PT on the Joe Team?
Mangler's efforts are certainly note worthy, but he and Cool Breeze seemed to be making up for screwing around earlier in those issues. I think Roadblock is the only clear cut case of actions in a combat situation that deserve serious consideration for high level commendation. Yet another reason why they shouldn't change his name to Heavy Duty.
