It can only be revoked by an act of Congress - and then only if evidence is introduced that the investigation and evidence used to justify the award was either erroneous or falsified.
That's why there are so many layers of approval for them - and over a year's worth of investigation - they don't want to approve it if there is ANY doubt.

There is an old running joke in the military that basically states that a recipient of the MOH can get away with anything short of murder. To a certain extent this is true. The military doesn't want it known that a recipient of the highest award given could be a foul up.
That being said, l will state (as several ahead of me already have) that the only way it could ever be taken away is if it was found out that the award was under false pretenses to begin with. And chances are they would keep it very quiet.

It would have to turn out the situation for what they given it, turned out not to be the truth. However, because of the intensive background searching and fact finding, its highly unlikely it was undeserved before being awarded it.
It cannot be revoked for criminal convictions.
For example, being awarded a silver star for killing 10 insurgents and saving the lives of your comrades, then you go home and get in a drunk brawl. Sure, you got in a brawl, but it doesn't mean you didn't save the lives of your pals.

Nicely I'm a boy but I consider on us boys, short hair is always better. Long hair doesn't CONSTANTLY show a sign of dominance. You see most other guys with lengthy hair that doesn't look like these people can fight. For example there is a boy in my school with very long blonde hair.

I've had mine both ways too... but my husband prefers it short... he never ever complains when I grow it lengthy, but is always all over himself w/the complements when I cut that off
