Apparently this is being discussed.
My confuser is still messed up from a progression to windows 10 so I can't put up a link.
Thoughts?

Well, now maybe theyll recognize those that died in terror attacks...like Ft. Hood....hmm
I don't mind giving them awards and such for good performance, but some medals(Bronze Star, etc) belong to those who face the enemy face to face.
Obviously i appreciate the good work the drone operators have been doing on these terrorist scum.

Meh. Who cares. As long as the awards don't rate higher than strictly combat awards like the Silver Star.
Contrary to popular belief, the Bronze Star is not necessarily a combat award unless it comes with a V device. Loads of REMFs get Bronze Stars so I have no beef with drone operators who actually perform above and beyond getting some form of recognition.

My issue is with non-military people who believe a Bronze Star actually means something. It doesn't. If your biggest physical threat is carpal tunnel, then you haven't been in combat. However, we should separate those who operate drones in theater, vs. those that do so from the comfort and safety of an air conditioned building in a non-combat zone.
I'll have an issue if they give these guys Air Medals.
