SilsoeSid... do you read the entire thread, or do you just skim over it before venting? If so, look at the 4th post before you, where Maj. Chesarek is quoted as saying:
“The awarded actions were only possible due to the combined effort of my combat crew; Lt. David Williams RN and Lance Cpl. Max Carter RM."
As senior officer aboard, he does get primary credit for the combined actions of his crew. And yes, he probably was the primary pilot, as his rank indicates a long service with many flight-hours.
