Pentagon Creates New Medal for Drone Operators

The Pentagon unveiled a new medal on Wednesday to honor “extraordinary” troops who launch cyber attacks or drone strikes from their consoles, even if they do not risk their lives in combat. http://www.darkgovernment.com/news/pentagon-creates-new-medal-for-drone-operators/

Step right up and get yer Distinguished Warfare Medal for killin' them lil' brown babies, errrr, I mean - bug-splat!!

I wonder how many medals they earn in this program...Just think how proud one must be pinning them on their uniform. Think they earn one for each bug-splat?

So proud!!!
