The Pentagon wants awards for bravery for drone pilots who kill people remotely far from the field of battle
The effort to depict drone warfare as some sort of courageous and noble act is intensifying:

The Pentagon is considering awarding a Distinguished Warfare Medal to drone pilots who work on military bases often far removed from the battlefield. . . .

[Army Institute of Heraldry chief Charles] Mugno said most combat decorations require “boots on the ground” in a combat zone, but he noted that “emerging technologies” such as drones and cyber combat missions are now handled by troops far removed from combat.

I really don't care about those Godless bastards.

I do care if any western servicemen die in those shitholes.

I say give them whatever medals they want. They are the future of warfare.

Get used to it.

Bullshit! Snipers put their life on the line more than most other soldiers. Drone pilots, on the other hand, just sit at a desk thousands of miles from any danger and play video games.

The drone pilots are from the "everyone is special..everyone gets a gold star generation." They are really going to feel bad if you don't give them their little gold stars and pat them on the head.

AND REMEMBER THEY ARE TRAINING BY TRACKING YOU IN YOUR CAR

It's a whole lot like cold-blooded murder, without the murderer having to be in any danger what-so-ever.
Makes me ashamed for this to be coming from America.

No medals for keyboard murders.

Hero?

I could see giving medals for skillz but for heroism?

That would be a fucking disgrace to anybody that was actually wounded in battle.

Hero my ass. Unless they are under the threat of a heavy skull fucking for crashing a drone, theses useless fucks shouldn't get shit.

the beast.....
Beyond one's own mind there is no dazzling light to come shining in from outside to wake one up. If one recognizes one's own intrinsic State as pure from the beginning and only temporarily obscured by impurities, and if one maintains the presence of this recognition without becoming distracted, then all the impurities dissolve. This is the essence of the Path-namkhai norbu.

Why is there a legend about the descent of Christ into hell? The Teacher addressed the lower strata of the astral world, saying: �Why, by cherishing earthly thoughts, bind oneself eternally to Earth?� And many revolted in spirit and rose higher.

Actually, the Pentagon is doing this to get as many idiots (just like you) interested in flying drones, since they have 30,000 drones they'll be flying all over the skies of AmeriKa.

Looks like you're definitely stupid enough to take the bait.
