Courage above that shown by others. I think this one is easy. In the UK he might have got the George Cross.
OK, but don't you get paid to exercise restraint and judgement. When is there an option ever not to do it?...but leaders need to understand, appreciate, and recognize when their Soldiers or Marines go above and beyond the call by showing judgment and restraint.
There isn't a minimum standard. You are either doing it or not. Restraint actually means doing nothing, and ROE exist to ensure that violence is used instrumentally and in line with policy.
Wouldn't you say that "Good judgement" is either there or not?
