It's rare, this sort of gimme from me. Sufficeth to say, one does not get the MOH for "getting killed with a gun in their hands"........ and almost to the man, they had to sacrifice their lives for the distinction. Another common denominator amongst MOH recipients was that their enemies were very good shots, many of them suffering an absurd number of wounds while dragging others to safety or assaulting a position with complete disregard for their own lives to the benefit of their compatriots...or defending a position against impossible odds.
It just means that the guy you wanted to kill.was a better aim than you.
No, never mind, that was an ignorant response. No gimmes.
