| #7 ...The only people who should be getting anything are the people who were on the ground in Kabul from the beginning of the collapse to the final evac. If a SINGLE Washington Warrior gets one, shame on them. Mike Mike |

| #5 a lot of the service members involved do deserve awards Indeed. I understand many Contractors earned their pay too. Many have already been , to use Daily Mail language, 'given' Purple Hearts. |

| #1 Civies - the military has separate awards for combat and valor, administrative, and "been there, see it, done it" events. Those who wear their ribbons (like Milley) are just flashing their personnel file to others in that bubble rather than demonstrating their 'scars'. The Meritorious Unit Medal goes to the units involved in a particular action. On the Army side of the house, those who were in those units when it was awarded, get to keep wearing it. Those not in the unit, but join the unit later get to wear it while assigned to the unit. |
