I watched 15 minutes - seems a reasonable logic as to why the senior person shouldn't have got a medal - but I guess we don't really get to hear their side of the story - or more importantly the logic of those who gave the award and how they view the criteria. the creator of the video presents their logic as factual/indisputable. We do hear a senator ask the recipient why he think he meets the criteria, and the recipient not answer the question and ask the senator to follow the process/protocol to do this.
Anyway, it got pretty boring / comments are closed on the video and we don't know the motivation of the maker of the video. Maybe they had an award docked and felt it was hypocritical - there is a little bit where the senator pushes that line.
I'm not sure of the relevance of the video to BRS.
Certain people in power having egos isn't breaking news.
