Pentagon to Start Awarding Medals for Drone Strikes and Cyberattack Gamesman ! Nothing like kicking a VET that risked his life hu?

The Defense Department is reportedly inventing a new medal designed to
reward soliders who fight battles from the safety of their computer
consoles. The Associated Press says the Pentagon will create a new ribbon
called the Distinguished Warfare Medal that will be given for "extra
achievement" related to a military operation. That would include drone
pilots operating unmanned planes from halfway around the world, or even
hackers who launch a successful cyberattack on an enemy. Unlike all
other combat-related medals, this would be the first one that you can be
awarded without actually putting your life on the line

“The basic fact of the matter is no one is shooting back at you. That makes a big difference.
