    I was going to say that while his acting was fine in Top Gun and A Few Good Men and such, he’s also been paid for that, and I feel that an award should really require going above-and-beyond.

    But I looked at the recipients of that medal, and it has a long list of political recipients, people like Jared Kushner. I’m not sure that the medal has a lot of integrity to safeguard.
