I can see Achievement or Commendation medals for UAV folks but anythingmore degrades medals those who eat, sleep and crap in danger's backyard. As an EOD guy, I would think I earned my Bronze Star, Commendation and Achievement medals for wht I did on my Iraq and Afghan tours...not in a cube a few thousand miles away.
Is that not why there are medals that specifically award valor, perseverance, exceptional bravery etc in combat?
