SFC Cashe Medal of Honor
Should there be a new paragraph with a discussion of LTG Vines' unwillingness to endorse the upgrade of SFC Cashe's Silver Star to the Medal of Honor? SFC Cashe's battalion commander, then-LTC Brito (now himself a 3-star general) has openly remarked that the upgrade was slowed by his inability to get the original award approver's endorsement of the upgrade. This was for a situation that was so openly deserving of the MoH, it truly makes one incredulous that anyone would not want to support it. As this was the last leadership position held by LTG Vine, it is a bit of a mark against his personal legacy. Two possible reasons are a hesitancy by senior leaders to change awards already approved, afraid this showed signs of incompetence, or a bit of latent racism in not nominating a black enlisted man for the MoH.
