VFW Slams Pentagon’s Drone Medal, Complains It Would Outrank Purple Heart

15th February 2013

Read it.

America’s largest combat veterans group is worried the creation of a new medal for drone strikes and cyber-warfare could bestow higher honor on those using a joystick to kill terrorists than soldiers wounded on the battlefield.

The Distinguished Warfare Medal, announced Wednesday, would rank higher than the Bronze Star and Purple Heart, which is given to servicemembers killed or wounded in battle. The new medal would rank immediately below the Distinguished Flying Cross.

    Well, why not? Seems to be an appropriate for the times. You wouldn’t want all those gamers to have hurt feelings?

    Besides, what can you do with medals other than take them out of the drawer every sinx months and dust them?
