I recall stories like that of LBJ. He was a sitting congressman and held a reserve commission in the Navy. He wrangled a vacation transfer to McArthur's command in the south pacific. He asked to ride along in a B-17 on a scouting mission over Papua New Guinea. The flight was uneventful, but LBJ was awarded a Silver Star for valor.
