#1 this information will not be released if it could potentially lead to a compromise of national security, or potentially create undue risk to the security and privacy of the awardee and his/her family."

or political difficulties for a democratic president.

#2 Yeah, it was a movie that caused this. Never forget that lie and coverup from Hillary and Obama, who should be criminally charged for what happened in the aftermath of Benghazi. Its not the act, its the coverup. Had Nixon invoked national security and stonewalled everything as well as Obama has, with the help of a sycophantic press, he would never have been impeached. Obama is Nixon with an obedient press corps.

#3 It is not unusual for certain awards not to be publicized, and details of the circumstances and actions that justified the award to be withheld. Per DoD regulations, this information will not be released if it could potentially lead to a compromise of national security

William McGonagle could've told you about that one...

#4 Lets not forget it also worked for Obama for Fast and Furious. If Nixion had done a F&F and the coverup afterwards he would have been burned at the stake.

Obama and Hillary should at least be impeached for endangering the life of the video producer (and if he gets killed by terrorists some sort of homicide.).

#5 There were some "interesting things" going on in Cambodia, Laos, etc., which warranted conspicuous gallantry but national security matters never allowed them to see the light of day.

This one is considered classified as a political cover-up is in play. The ones in SE Asia and later in Africa were/are very sensitive. Big difference in the reasons for classification.
