SURVEY: Ranking of new DOD Distinguished Warfare Medal
TOPIC: Several years ago drone 'pilots' operating great distances
from the battlefield and exposed to no physical enemy threat,
petitioned the Dept of Defense to award them the Air Medal which is
authorized to in-flight personnel for achievement while flying over
enemy territory. The DOD rejected this petition. However, the DOD very
recently created a new medal for drone 'pilots' that will rank above
the Bronze Star Medal for Valor that is awarded to combat personnel
who operate on battlefields and physically engage with enemy forces
that exert lethal force.
