This is perhaps one of the worst decisions I have seen from DoD. And I've seen quite a few over the years.

Well if your drone performs heroically under fire while you are 2000 miles away in an air-conditioned office. Think of the angst and suffering thy have for their drone.

This is just another example of obummer "mr. i hate America" and his lackeys doing their best to demoralize and demean those who have been in harms way. (Sentence deleted by Admin)

Holy shit. I had heard about the award, had no idea it was on the order of precedence higher than the Bronze Star. This is a feaking travesty.
