#1 I personally think that Drone operators need more recognition, it's an AWFULLY difficult job.

#4 I have no issue with Dronezap Excellence© recognition. It was the stature of the award above others (Purple Heart?) that was wrong

#5 Dronezap Excellence recognition:

Here's a three day pass and a pat on the back. Be back to work at Nellis, March, Edwards, or Davis-Monathan NLT 0900 on next Tuesday. Oh by the way, next Friday is a training holiday and the following Monday is the golf tourney at the Club.

#6 I think that the sheer proliferation of medals is an issue here as well. As I understand it, the Air Force was the driver behind the Dronezap Medal - this from a service that already has so many medals and ribbons that a supply sergeant in Class A's looks like he swiped Marshal Zhukov's ribbon rack.

#7 Regardless of your opinion of Chuck Hagel, you have to snicker a bit when you think that a former US Army enlisted man and VN Veteran calls bullshi* on a USAF medal. :-)
