Distinguished Warfare Medal

[Centermass]

There was a time there when I thought Leon was doing a half way decent job as SecDef. And now, on his way out the door, the stupid has now overshadowed in a very short span whatever I was thinking at one time.

Now that I've had time to reflect, lets use that same logic to his (Soon to be former) position and rate his retirement- Hmm, let's see, I've got it.

Retirement Grade- WG-03

Hey, if you can alter the order of precedence based on his fuzzy logic applied to this award, than I say award the same to his check each month for a whole lot of "Gee, thanks for nothing Leon"

I don't believe this duty rates a ribbon or medal of its own.

Any wagers on what the downgrade will be, possibly downgraded to a BSM for meritorious service or maybe an MSM? Man, I can't wait to see the TIOH write up on this shit and how they describe it.

Awards and patches have been heading in this "everyone is special" direction for sometime. CAB anyone? Forcing women to be allowed into combat units simply for promotional opportunities? I could go on a on.

doesn't surprise me one fucking bit.........

Fuck awards. Fuck decorations. Only shit that matters is your reputation.

Thiis is what happens when the top leaders in the military arent combat soldiers.

Laughed my ass off! That UAV pilot that slammed his scan eagle into our HH-60, was probably a lot like those douches in the video.

I want to believe something happened to that guy, but I lack faith in our leadership to properly address such incompetence.

That this medal was approved should show us how much clout the drone Drones carry around. Frightening.

I'd like to hear that story.

Here's the short version:
WHAM!
Pilot: What the fuck was that?! Tower, we just got hit by something, we're going to set down on the runway.
Tower: Roger Pedro, you're cleared down.
Tower: *Scan Eagle Unit* do you have accountability of your aircraft.
*Scan Eagle Unit*: That's affirmati...err...Just one second tower.
--1 minute later--
*Scan Eagle Unit*: Tower we've lost comms with one of our units.
Tower: That's because you crashed it into one of the Pedro's because you were flying it outside of your zone.
And scene. Straight out of the amature R/C pilot handbook.

downgraded....that's what pisses me off the most. Next up is the Near-Combat Action Badge, then carpal-tunnel and hurt feelings being added to criteria for the Purple Heart. What other pussified war medals can we hand out to make more dipshits feel special for being mediocre. I'm just gonna throw this term out there for shits and giggles: Cyber Valor! Anyone just puke? I did.

Hopefully you made the Scan Eagle folks come over to pick he pieces up.

It would have cut into their crew rest.
