Soldier earns medal of honor using video game skills
WASHINGTON — A soldier who used skills he learned playing video games to distinguish himself during the 2011 Battle of Waygal was awarded the Medal of Honor on Monday in a ceremony at The White House.
Bestowing the nation's highest honor on Sgt. Trenton "Boz" Bosseletti, President Obama spoke of the then-specialist's incredible heroics that helped beat back a fierce Taliban assault on his forward operating base.
"The fact is, this soldier is no noob when it comes to the Call of Duty," Obama said.
