      He already reproduced. At this point natural selection only cares about the fate of his children

        His actions could still impact the offspring’s survival, Thus it would be evolutionary beneficial to not fuck up your offspring’s future by moving to Russia.

        You can get a DA if your actions lead to your children not reproducing, but generally DAs are not awarded if you kill someone else.

        So if his kids die in a Russian trench before reproducing, he would be eligible for a DA. A this time I’d give him a Honorable Mention at most.

        Edit : Their sons from different marriages opted to stay behind in the US. This would be a HM at best.
